This is not bad	A
ambling along th Street	B
with Sonny Rollins for company	C
his music flowing through the soft calipers	D
of these earphones	E
	-
as if he were right beside me	C
on this clear day in March	F
the pavement sparkling with sunlight	G
pigeons fluttering off the curb	H
nodding over a profusion of bread crumbs	I
	-
In fact I would say	J
my delight at being suffused	K
with phrases from his saxophone	L
some like honey some like vinegar	M
is surpassed only by my gratitude	N
	-
to Tommy Potter for taking the time	O
to join us on this breezy afternoon	P
with his most unwieldy bass	Q
and to the esteemed Arthur Taylor	M
who is somehow managing to navigate	R
	-
this crowd with his cumbersome drums	I
And I bow deeply to Thelonious Monk	S
for figuring out a way	J
to motorize or whatever his huge piano	T
so he could be with us today	J
	-
This music is loud yet so confidential	U
I cannot help feeling even more	V
like the center of the universe	W
than usual as I walk along to a rapid	X
little version of The Way You Look Tonight	G
	-
and all I can say to my fellow pedestrians	Y
to the woman in the white sweater	M
the man in the tan raincoat and the heavy glasses	Z
who mistake themselves for the center of the universe	W
all I can say is watch your step	A2
	-
because the five of us instruments and all	B2
are about to angle over	M
to the south side of the street	B
and then in our own tightly knit way	J
turn the corner at Sixth Avenue	C2
	-
And if any of you are curious	D2
about where this aggregation	C2
this whole battery powered crew	C2
is headed let us just say	J
that the real center of the universe	W
	-
the only true point of view	C2
is full of hope that he	C
the hub of the cosmos	E2
with his hair blown sideways	F2
will eventually make it all the way downtown	C2
