Pre-Partum Blues

I yearn 
to be 
born
birthed 
violently
hurled
head-first,
nay, breached
a better chance
to land

Bitches Brew

This past election day
I voted neither red nor blue
but instead prayed for
the rebirth of the cool, for
Nefertiti, and in my own silent way
cast my write-in vote for
Sir Miles Dewey Davis III,
with John Coltrane and Bill Evans
as VP and Sec of State, respectively.
