Jazz Is Jazz


Hot can be
cool, and
cool can be
hot, and 
each can be 
both.  But
hot or cool,
man, jazz is
jazz			-- Louis Armstrong


Jazz is
cold feet on the
kitchen floor
or

a hot slow dance
amidst unfinished
pasta and dirty dishes 
or

Jazz is
peace 
driving to work in a 
post-Christmas blizzard and
seven days til payday
or

a long drive through
cows and rows
of corn
on a thick August night.

Jazz
is a lover, jazz
is solitude
Jazz
is predictable, jazz
is an unexpected
wow…

Jazz
is energizing, jazz
is relaxing
and jazz is
unfinished, jazz
makes me
complete.
