piano man
for my father
old piano in the garage
upright, carved
jazz floated through the neighborhood
late afternoon, night
who knew when
jazz floated
neighbors knew who it was
over there on Cascade Drive
jazz floating through the neighborhood
hot summers, cold winters
against a garage wall
jazz
into the breezeway
across the grass
out Cascade, up and down Overhill Drive
jazz jazz jazz
progressions to die for
heart to hands
heart on the keys
jazz
passion for the garage
passion for the dog
passion for the trees
jazz
passion for the birds
passion for the street
passion for jazz
jazz jazz jazz
