Play a poem for me

Play a poem for me

Remind me that Jazz is conversations on Sunday mornings

And sex is for Wednesday evenings

And the dictionary is for reading

And thoughts are for meanings

Play a poem for me

Remind me that red wine is for seduction

And cognac is Black for Blues

And the saxophone is triumphant

And tones have clues

Play a poem for me

Remind me that Coffee is for poets

And poets are for April

And drummers have seniority

And players are theatrical

Play a poem for me

Remind me that Music is folkloric

And love is a musician

And the piano has tickling teeth

And fingers have a mission

Play a poem for me
