I wrote this yesterday but I'm posting it today because I couldn't get on yesterday for some reason. Today's to come later.

"It would be absurd if we did not understand both angels and devils, since we invented them." – John Steinbeck
Hey, you, come over and take this camera
that dangles from my neck. It is too dark
for photographs here on the streets, after sunset,
the scream of a trumpet echoing from some
faraway stage and the rude, crooked streetlamps
pouring orange light down on our heads.
We are wild tonight, grasping hands and spinning
and reveling in the creation of new melodies. Jazz
is all invention. A saxophone joins that lonely trumpet.
We are dangling from stars tonight, springing
up from the concrete, angels and devils all at once.
