Word Jazz
WORD JAZZ
first the theme
make it cool like
“smoke be getting in your eyes”
this smoke thing needs developing
like some shapely hips
should hip-smoke swing
perfume the air
improvise
allow cool words go everywhere
fingers talk in line-dot-space
syncopated meter
cool cat verbs each in place
go black lines inside your mind
that swingin place
be mighty fine
hip hop feet begin to swing
word jazz gone so deep
you be stoned, in some cool with-it sleep
