Odd Notes
The
sound
of a
jailer's keys
in the wind tonight,
or maybe it's the clink of cubes
in an empty highball glass that's ready and waiting
for its first assignment of the evening, or it could be a couple of odd notes
from an old piano that have somehow strayed away
from what could only have been a
Thelonious Monk
tune, but you
just can't
name
it.
