Poem by Michael D. Grover

-379-
(Wayne Shorter Blues #2)

Shorter out there
Like Miles out there
In space
All over the place,
Exploring
Like searching for a new land
A pure land

Shorter out there
Like Miles out there
In space
Like space was the place

Shorter out there
Like Miles out there
In space
You wield your sax viscous
Like you did with Miles
As Miles did with his horn

Shorter out there
Like Miles out there
In space
You are an astronaut
Your sax can fly man
Your sax can fly
