Laugh, dance, be silly,
for expression is freedom
and music, an aide.

Is a song

This way or that
all ways are right
as fluid as gender
not rigid as religion
both lengthy and short
some symmetric and not
home to the iambs and i ams
tolerant of unknown licenses
inclusive of worldly cultures
comments sensible or otherwise
the backbone of every tradition
is a song, a poem, a hearty welcome

Tunes

The Jay Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park, Chicago

Injecting passion

music, the tranquilliser

into broken souls

Symphony

As Jerry and Tom

hurried ups and harried downs

funny, symphony

The concert

With moments high, low

calling out to memories

as with life—music
