remember
for dexter gordon
as you mature,
dexter gordon says,
as you grow old,
as you learn, you add something
& you take something out,
but you're still yourself.
i was always dexter,
monk was always monk. can you imagine bird
not sounding like bird?
you don't just go out one day
& pick up a style
off a tree it's inside.
