Bebop

man 
like it was 
cool 
like an ice box 
left open 
in the heat 
as the jazz 
oozed 
out in 
statico beats 
of non-conformity 
to the jive 
laid down 
by the suits 
that live in black an white 
laced straight 
world 
without soul 
or 
knowing 
of the flamboyant 
dreams 
billowed by the wind 
of night.

Richard, i like the tone in this poem, to live in black in white. That seems to be my favorite thought throughout the poem... Now this is a very xool free verse poem. I like this style, but for some reason, I am not good at the short form... Awesomely refreshing... LINDA
