Sonny Rollins Gets Punched

Sonny Rollins music
Splattered the intermission with vital upbeat urgency
Frenzied
Deliriously
Vervy
Sayin' unctuously sayin
"I'm the heartbeat of life
I'm passion and fire "
And intensity of tumbling notes
Cascading and chasing each other
Among the cauldron of humanity
Everyone has purpose
Unflagging energy
Boundless love
Boundless grit
High on everything
Everything sings
Everyone sings just by existing and being free
Sonny Rollins
Is like MDNA
Floating an elevated euphoria pulse
At ease easy
Drop all the shit
Drop all the crap
Love love love
Free flow
Daddy O
Baby, where are you takin me?
Baby take me to the end of the rainbow
Baby, where do you wanna go go go! ?

But not my friend Kathy
Offended by this improvised dirge
As though gunmen had just ambushed the restaurant
"LET'S GET OUT OF HERE NOW!" she shrieks
"If this musician were here right now, I'd swear I'd punch him!"
I took her chariot that evening
And on the way back we listened to
Tim Finn
Her blood pressure went down
And then she turned on "Dancing with the Stars"
And got all lovey-dovey
And soon she forgot all
That bad ol'
Sonny Rollins
