Plugging In
PLUGGING IN
If you don’t get Miles
or if you don’t get The Dead
you miss out. Big style.
I won’t say anything more.
Let your ears take you walking.
Jazz Me Do
JAZZ ME DO
Memory splinters … Splinters linger on
Orphaned … Amputated … Alien
Earlier hellbent … Later bent
Like a banana
Like a tasty adventure
Up … Behind … To infinity and beyond
Like the neighbour who
Spotting the Buddha in the back garden asks
“What’s wit’ monk?”
Like a glance above wondering
In this boundless blossoming heaven
“What’s wit’ bird?”
What’s wit’ Bird?
Variations on a theme
Came a long long way to end up here
To land up here wondering
“What’s wit’ Miles
What’s wit’ all these miles an’ miles?”
As Jazz Is (16b)
AS JAZZ IS
Love you like
Miles, Coltrane, Jarrett
Who needs a
Safety net?
Life and death are one to me
With you beside me

What It Is
WHAT IT IS
……………………………………………………………For Miles
What it is
Whatever that might be
What it is
Is what I
veteran
of countless
dizzying nanoflights
make it
kaleidoscopic
Till I remake it
fractal
Till I remake it
a contraspiral hologram
Till I remake it
Into something else
Whatever that might be
Whatever
Whatever
What it is that it is
…..
