Living High

The winter rain beats a drum
roll on the window pane
into the night, I'm inside living high

with a hot buttered rum, listening to Igor
Kipness play Bach's 'Partita
Number Five in G Major',

on the computer I score thirty-one
thousand with seven purple squares
in a row, Igor finishes

and I switch to hot port
and 'Pioneers of the Jazz Guitar',
I don't need Jennifer to live high.

I get along without you very well,
