Train Jazz

by Bevan McShea

I dream of pizza

Listening to Oscar Peterson

On the train

Fade to Wes Montgomery

West to East to

The City

Tracks pop with the rhythm

Feather touches

On the snare drum

Undergound 'round say

Newark...

To New York in my hard chair

Comfort learned

Orbit concrete

I emerge in

The Sunlight

To sing with the giants

(New York City, 2007)
