ON THE EDGE OF A POEM


ON THE EDGE OF A POEM

All the greats are dead
or almost dead
as the youngsters
run on ahead
as if its a race
and you can't find your place
in the stadium
voices call out in random
and MJQ
says on cue
it won't do its thing
if it ain't got that swing
and my iTunes digs
another one from the music grave
from one hundred years ago
and no matter how far
the tinny trumpets roam
they can still be heard out there
on the edge of a poem
