Art Intimidating Life - The Ruins of my Mental Empire: Part Sixty-Six

after a day of whipping myself through the routine i say to myself i have to do more with my nights - i can't keep watching vhs copies of titanic, for example - and so when i was supposed to turn left, i turned right - at that easy moment i felt the curvature of spontaneity wave slowly in my favour - i found myself sitting at a table i'd sat at before, sipping a beer on the rooftop, writing things like:

men fantasise
women tantalise

laughing to yourself
is a true sign
that you're truly happy

i see jazz
when i see
shade and sunlight dance

i see jazz
when i see
someone bum a smoke

i see jazz
when i see
someone nod, instead of saying hello

i see jazz
when i see
bad traffic on a friday night

i see jazz
when i see
a clock tower at 3am

i see jazz
when i see
couples in love, diggin' jazz

i see jazz
when i see
things flowin'

i see jazz
when i see
people at ease

i see jazz
when i see
happy drunks

i see jazz
when i see
laughter from a candle-lit room

i see jazz
when i see
birds singing at crazy-dusk

i see jazz
when i see
that sun do nothing but set!

i see jazz
when i see
people drinking under dark red lights

i see jazz
when i see
leather jackets crowd a dark room

i see jazz
when i see
a man a bar alone with a great big smile on his face

i see jazz
when i see
a storm in a wine glass

i see jazz
when i see
lightening in a cocktail glass

i see jazz
when i see
women

i see jazz
when i see
someone dancing barefoot

i see jazz
when i see
stools - instead of seats or chairs

i see jazz
when i see
smoke drifting
