Trip To a Concert

Went to see Willie Colon the other night
Trombone - bongos - sexy woman 
   dancing around
    A politician walked 
through the crowd
  Free water (I got there too late)
    rhythmic 
memories 
   remain with us 
  As old newspapers 
blow by in the
   wind
     We watch the dance of love and life
as it repeats itself 
endlessly
    throughout the years 
echoing  in the halls of our souls
