These Keys

these keys   like the projects of Columbus Hill
like a drunk rhombus   or a discombobulated rumba
like dreams slunk on dime store racks
like a trinkle tinkle in time    a melodious thunk plunked
as you squint   diligently   these keys like footprints   scuffing
Mintons floor    like a miniscule Crepuscule   the jewel of Mingus’
bass   chords minced as Evidence   diced fine like Nellie’s veggies
blind like stubborn   sidemen playing out   of time   don’t know

there ain’t no wrong notes   so don’t ask me to lay out
to lay down   to lay low   or hang up this fedora   the explorer
Pandora   these keys   unlocked   unabridged
like the mystery   of Epistrophy   apostrophe
fingers atrophy   from atrocities   wrought by calamity
of the cabaret card   these keys   bop hard   bunched
like whole tone bouquets   buffets of Steinways   plinked with clunky
funky   finesse   as Bud and the   Baroness   baritone of Mulligan bless

these keys   harmonically   sardonically   chronically   sonically
stride and swing   Jackie-ing   Rhythm-a-ning   do your thing
let them call you crazy   when the swing got you swirling
let them call you lazy   when you refuse to play a matinee
either way   they’ll try to play you out   devoutly pout
deny you   vilify you   canonize then   sterilize you
organize   to make an off   minor myth out of you
once you split the scene for good    lord no one sees

that these keys   are   your blood   your
Nutty Mood   your Ugly Beauty food   delicious
dissonant   and misunderstood
the critics will print the banter   about the drugs
the tragedies   black poverty   pry about mental
dis-ease   but nobody will concede
or want to believe   that you were ele
funda   experi   instru   mentally   happy   tapping

these keys like drunk skunk Columbus rhombus
these keys of Mingus   Mintons   Mysterious Epistrophes
these keys that deliver   dissonant epiphanies
that know all the landlord and the labels can’t see
these keys that   capture   and spring   undiscovered melodies
these keys are so far out   dazzling   hilarious
these keys like junk dreams   in junk drawers   toys of chromatic joys
that know   that know   that silence is the loudest noise

 

“These Keys” by Vincent Toro
(Lyrics for “Monk’s Dream” by Thelonious Sphere Monk)
