Mind/ful/l
of Miles What’s new? I too am kind of blue, ear buds soothing “So What,” Chambers and then Evans noodling Gil E.’s intro. Sooo what? Upright walks in the tune, conjures modal three-part sooo what’s. No mute for Miles, just cool, crystal- clearful riffing. Sooo what? Coltrane’s tenor takes me… Jimmy’s brushing behind. Sooo what? Cannon- ball’s break before more Bill, then back as one: Sooo what? B-dah b-dah- b-dah b-daaah: Sooo what? B-dah b-dah b-dah. b-dah bah: Sooo what? B-dah b-dah- b-dah b-daaah: Sooo what? B-dah bah-bah- baaah: Thaaa’s what. D.R. James This poem was first published in Ireland's Galway Review. D. R. James has taught college writing, literature, and peace-making for 34 years and lives in the woods outside Saugatuck, Michigan, with his wife, psychotherapist Suzy Doyle.
