Loads of tunes. Pic: Paul Hirst

Everyone Got Bass, Who Has Melody???

tunes and tunes and tunes and tunes

and the sky is a memory too vivid to contain at 4.27 this morn

and Orlando floats on swampland,

the lizards run in out the sun

the heat is a stinging thing

Florida a tropics swelter of dry and wet

the snakes laze in the grass

flowers are reds like all the reds of the hot and rich and raindeluged earth got concentrate

the bars have dark windows smokedglass or are not windowed at all

and the cyclones

the hurricanes

lash the land

in Tallahassee, Fl, Pensacola, Fl, Daytona, Miami and Orlando the air crashes like the seas reincarnate

storms hurl like the gods of the furious

the elemental force

the riven horizon

hammers tongs over this swathe of earth cut outta the pages of the great book, the imagination of men, eons ago

more memory forgot - is there anything sadder???

and the magic is contained in every thing:

slaking cold water

a Florida banana

the 35 plus warm;

the Q, then, this:::

who has melody when too many have just bass???
