music of electrons

sometimes I am jazz-

 

sometimes I am jazz like

a pearl wind and

the danger

down rhythms of tap

dancing fingers on

timpani drums-

 

sometimes I scuttle

through the blues of

tear drop

trumpets at midnight-

shuffle through militant

smoke like craw-daddies in

muddy water-

 

sometimes-quarter time-

staccato notes violate

me-

harmonizing with

the music of

electrons intent on

quantum suicide
