VOLUME 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS



BOOMER

One more gray-haired, boomer, saxophone justification
raises a pointed eyebrow of intoxication,

moves one pair of smooth legs onto a swirling field
of mirrored-ball starlight
to shuttle alone across the nameless distance
between stellar polka dots and the edge of a plywood stage.

She slides through her slick rimmed identity, old enough
to project her bare shouldered warmth
to side with a spot laundered man, bay rum scented,
hiding his gray underwear life behind a lackluster saxophone.

Air chemical mating begins as a moldy horn
heats up a phosphorescent dialogue of legs and jazz
with growls horn-made to her tight satin fanny-moves.

A sudden music comes down from ceiling wires
attached to ideas too thought provoking,
too much endowed with brass interlocking, small motor
gear-works and planetary cogitation of ellipses.

Bending back and forth in a prayer struggle, he wails
an unknown language, too full of breath and broken speech.
The man alone groans on, fondling each blind note,
warming the space the girl leaves sadly behind.
