Saw Tom Wolfe, Hank Lazer, and Chris Kozak a couple weeks back
Thought maybe I could be a beat poet too.
Could hang out in coffee shops just like my dad
Wear a black turtleneck in an old black ‘n white
Sip black coffee
Listen to some Coltrane, Count Basie
Maybe...
Some Dizzy Gillespie?
It’s not the same at Starbucks nowadays.
Paying too much to be “alternative.”
Let’s listen to those horns
And it will…
Maybe it will sound
Just like the boogie woogie rumble
Of a dream deferred.
Isn’t that right, daddy?
