ONE FOR BOOMER
Receding hairline, failing vision,
hair now turning grey,
an aging boomer in final protest,
Father Time his cause this day.
He donned his headband, tie-dyed jeans,
scorched draft card of protests past,
then set out for one last battle--
To find his youth that quietly passed.
Lonely aging Boomer,
A different kind of man;
His colleagues are all now in the wind,
as he makes his final stand.…

JACKIE’S BAG
When Jackie McLean first appeared on the scene
he swung it like nobody else;
He stood all alone, with that bittersweet tone,
owing nobody, only himself.

With his furious attack he could take you…

A Swingin’ Affair
I was told as a child Blacks had no worth, not a nickel’s worth of dimes. I believed that myth
til Dex rode in with his ax in double time.
His horn was soarin’, the changes flyin’, his rhythm right on time; my heart beat with the pleasure of new found pride, knowing, his blood flowed through…
