Bassman

And the beautiful black man on the bus
Tweed cap cocked back
Long fingers curled at goateed chin
Looked like he should be playing bass
Upright
Or fretless electric
Or both
With the likes of
Miles Davis Billy Cobham John Coltrane…
His earring glinted in the sun as he got off the bus
At the grocery store
