Relating Dudes To Jazz

me

the night

my compadre Raymond

we were jumping fences

jumping for freedom

Ray says, "Hey Watt

stop here a second."

I said, "Hear her

out in New Haven?"

and then at the gig

I sat and I watched them



a drum and a sax

both of th

em talking

how very important

two dudes talking

but everything ain't just

two dudes talking

my place in a time

is a big nada-history

but my place with you

is shown symbolically
