		i played for the sun today
		---------------------------------------------------------

		first i kissed the stones
		from lake powell from the athabascan glacier
		from plymouth beach

		trane unit trembled on low caressing me --
		nude and on all fours, overseeing the western lands
		cordless and yet no slave to the cordless

		airconditioning with windows wide open
		sun descending
		mostly clear and fully reds and bluey painted skies

		then I saw a tiny baby
		spider hurry on down
		the trane

		on course and normal to the edge
		just below my god nose
		within reach of my god thumb

		but hey it's summer solstice
		spiders are people
		on my planet

		then
		sun glistened peachy red
		off my piano's white keys
		i played the glistening blacks

		i find i can play virtuoso when only black
		the power of grammar

		looking the sun right in the eye
		touched kristie's t-shirt for i-don't-know-what
		well the bleachy-peachy-fady shirt i marek-made
		now kristie-designate
		and keep as others might
		a gypsum bust of beethoven on my baldwin

		it plays with my soft and supple girl-imagination

		i looked precisely oh her way oh abouts
		azimuth plus or minus 2 degrees
		yes I have it calibrated
		the power of cliff dwelling with a view to the horizon
		and compass-savvy charting

		and I played rather well
		rather very well
		base line with an impromptu scottish tune
		a bit of glassy-brawny jazz

		i am getting good
		i will have her me and you
		understood

		someday

		the sun is not getting in 
		my way
		don't wear shades

		played the piano for the sun today
		on 2 keyboards
		in 2 grammars
