Just About Time

The Way the Story Goes
I planted nasturtiums everywhere I ever lived
over the years so that I’ve left
a trail of nasturtiums
behind me
in case I ever want to find my way back
 
Lost & Found
You will always find whatever you’re looking for
although it won’t always be what you thought it would
 
Addiction
It took me over 20 years to figure out that the chord changes of
Art Pepper’s signature bop tune “Straight Life” are based upon
“After You’ve Gone”.  I suppose I could have asked someone but
discovering it on my own after so much time was
a magic mainline shot of adrenaline
& you get addicted to those kinds of moments
 
After You’ve Gone
Watching wet foot
prints evaporate
on the sun
bleached pavement
