On Green Dolphin Street

byGuiltyPleasure©

That one always gets me
here


He said thumping his chest

reminds me of the old days
in Nola
with the band sober
and clean,
eyes clear and lips rock hard
all night
long.


Cough
Cough
Sniff


Sorry, chokes me up
thinkin'
of the good time,
good times.


Sip of rye
Swallow


Sold my horn for a shot
of shit.
Man, that was a bad deal.
near met my Maker
on the crapper
back of some jazzy joint.

But
that's all behind me
now I'm old enough
to know better.
