Post Beat Modern (for milo)
Brushes soft on a hi-hat,
tenor sax blows soft with a
vibrato not heard since Stan Getz.
In a booth under the stairs,
he simpers and
reaches out to stroke her hair,
but she's grown balls and pulls away.
He has to catch himself
from falling into her lap
—so over-extended—
"Eat me," she says
as she stands and walks away.
Confusion and hope war on his face
as he cannot decide if he's been put down,
or made an offer.
The Jazz plays on.

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
