The Cover Cascades and Is Purple
� 2001 by john e

yeah right
i know jazz i know coltrane
sheets of sound and all that
the more i read the more i listen to
people talk hmmm
i don't crave collections
researched reissues
i have TRANSITION
on vinyl
the first side ended
with Dear Lord
the cd has...
TRANSITION not sure what else

you'd think he was yelling
if you didn't listen
really listen
if you
really listen
it's
TRANSITION

sheets of sound and all that
flags of free waves
deep down the vortex
alighting on the ivories
brushing on drums ahead of themselves

why not fade out what little is really said
blot out what scratch was written
and call out Dear Lord once more
dance inside the bell
wrapped in vivifying sheets
each beat and note
a naive bohemian prayer
caring for all the others
within the overtones
or on their own
call out Dear Lord

round out the platter
