    Sax

    On East State Street,
    the muted blare of distant traffic
    runs through,
    the thoughts in his mind.

    Against
    the sunny graphic
    reflections of chrome memories,
    a bird flys unfenced
    three stories
    past the parking meters queue,

    He looks away.
    Intertwined
    in the shade of the glass windowed
    buildings the day
    is strumming
    with jazz notes afloat
    and with the feeling
    it is alert enough
    to stop at the tri colored traffic light.

    The light turns green.

    The saxaphone,
    a comet
    of comfort
    ephemeral and seen,
    pulses through him
    as he keeps walking shoulder
    to shoulder
    alone
    with time.

    The sounds on the street, is blue saxofone coming to me.

    EXCELLENT TEMPO AND FLOW AND YOU THOUGHTS FELT FAMILIAR TO ME. JAZZ AND BLUES HAVE A WAY OF TOUCHING THE SOUL DEEP.

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
