Crafting

A.J. Juarez

Dam it, I finally understood Mozart when I heard Duke Ellington on Jonathan's show!

Mozart like Ellington was the peer of Deities, spirits, and gifted souls.

Their music providing us fellow creatures - if only for a moment-

with the possibilities of

Taking a dip in factual loveliness.

Those uptight fancy pants at all the concert halls had them wrong,

Ellington and Mozart, Miles, Segovia, Monk, Chopin, or Bird

Weren't just about technique and genius: they were about

The sweat of the moment,

The raw orgasm of creation
and the progeny it crafts.

man, play that a gain Sam!
