I walk with ease sliding side to side ways. I guess they could almost consider me dancing as I roam the streets to me. Welcome Buddy Rich on percussion. My hand raises to a rhythmic snap. Sun glass shading the thirsty eye, which speaks to the spirit of music this evening. The destination is loving somewhere, hidden in the city. Beat breaks, and then... Saxophone explosion, it's Parker and Lateef! I don't have enough limbs to contemplate my excitement, but I try, while flying, roaming the streets I am dancing now. This fact I am admiting myself. The destination draws close, the light(ning) is brash! A trumpet's blaze though Gillespie's lips. The head swings back with eyes forced closed. Imagining a female beautifully sleeping, wanting to kiss, and be kissed in(stant) love, I awake with my mind combining rhythm and delight, drawing a road map after all. Unknown, the pianist, a Pepper and Green, another reed enters, in good taste six strings. I continue my fiasco, sidewalk snapping, and spinning, parting concrete crowds. At the end of this gawking ocean, I can see her lone bench, her resting place, where she sleeps beauty's breathing. The tempo kneels, allowing sweet woman sing. Holliday, the female, takes vocal duties smiling harmonically. I blanket her numb lips, she awakes tasting rain. Our eyes melt meeting again forever, as we dance and proceed roaming the streets of this city. (The band peels forth again an energetic jam. Entered has Gaucher to complete the endless duet).
