Vibes

and on plays the vibes

so tasty and sweet

for this sore body

I inhabit tonight

some strange gentleman

tickling the ivories

and the drummer

has a head ache

I know this

as he is playing

his tune

so softly

too soft

so much so that

it

is

bugging me slightly

but this stereo long player

(going in tired circles

at thirty three and a third)

will have another

song to play

with a different drummer

and all will be good

in my world again

as I sip from my

mug

on the bottom

is a soggy chamomile bag

that was once

proud and dry

in a flowery box

but now

I have the flavor

all for myself

and that is

simply great

and if I wanted to

I could reach up now

and pick the fruit

from my tree

dreaming that I am God

so,

let the music play on

let the saxophone chime out

into my night

and bring a smile to my face

I love nights like this

and only a hunger

could bring me down now

so

I push all temptations aside

and stare at the vinyl

spinning underneath the sharp needle

as I tap my ten toes

in unison 

to the beat

and the phone

will no longer ring

and my pet animals

will remained

curled under my chair

and that is just

fine by me

sometimes

I love my life

and right now

I fucking adore it

to pieces

all is right in my world

finally

as the drummer rises

to make way

for the next fella

and I applaud

with the clapping echoing

throughout my home

raining down upon me

and the next track begins

as I remain seated

in love with

just about

everything

tonight

and that is a

good

thing
