Old Singers
Old singers lounge in grooves
on vinyl swoon
to the high notes hold back
their rasp
They imagine birds
dancing on sheet music dream
in downbeat and gin
follow the smoke fog sway
in cool clubs romantic blue
they remember
They nod to the horns smooth their
hips and tap time while sugar
ivories smile
