What turns you on? she asked coyly…..did she want an answer? She got one..

Being in my room on rainy days….Coltrane blowin’ Body and Soul…..Makin’ a meal with a broad perched on a stool; hand wrapped ’round red with Green Dolphin Street playin’; Evans’ or Miles’ either will do…..

Strolling in Pelham Bay Park…..rides on the #2 train…..a slice of cheesecake shared…..books….books….books….a poem…..an elder’s remarks…..options open….

Talkin’ to ghosts…..praying to gods….hope for a future… writing about pasts……new meds with no side effects….a $1 slice…..

Love…..

Anything else?

No…..no…..that’ll do it…
