strange (meadow lark)

***
but i couldn't help thinking to myself, we singlehandedly save jazz artists with the grateful mercy of our ears and instabilities; we are critics with wide fixed eyes, their faces and fingers are an asylum madness.  their hands flitting shapelessly through space, their inanity of wordwit, their grimaces both articulate and grotesque - they are sanctified by their pulse, and how staunch and still are our hearts without. 

my heartbeats and the bassline drop like stones,
& i am never in the business to save, or settle.
