lean back and listen…my poem
tinkle, sway, hum…
Winter, add Woo, stir
…all the notes make medleys,
it’s a quiet nightclub sound,
it’s okay to listen
with the other ear,
and hear the lilt and the lift
and the living rhythms
without trying too hard
to pay attention,
and nod in time
when an old refrain
makes a hole in the buzz,
and you hear again
those words that throb and skip
and nestle into
those last few tinkling keys…

Bob Winter and Elaine Woo made beautiful music at Linden Ponds
on an otherwise ordinary April afternoon.
