Dolphy

optical illusions

on the bass clarinet

sound like sonic confusion

but it's just something

not met before

score exploding

onto new terrain

don't need a weather vane

to hear the song the wind gave

in europe reaching out to souls

with george gervin

finger rolls of light

the vibraphone blinks

blue sights

navigation signals

in the blue night

sending messages from

stratocumulus cool heights

tony williams drums tic-toc

salvador dali trip clocks

melodies mesmerize minds

like a dream fox

dolphy watched ships

on the seine

as they reached docks

sailed rhythms

mingus and coleman

helped unlock

folks flock

stop talk

take stock

as their jaws drop
