bloomdido
for amiri baraka
in the beginning
of the modern
era,
in harlem,
in the early days
of the new
music,
in the days of war
when bird
& diz & monk
made it all
start
to happen, in
harlem
late at night
the music hit
hard
& deep, monk
& bird & dizzy
turned it all around
& made it
fit
what was happening
in new york city,
the war,
the sound of modern
city
life, in harlem
or in midtown,
downtown,
monk & bird
& dizzy
made the music fit,
they made it
fit, they
made
the music
come to life,
they made life
come to the music,
they made it
bloom
bloomdido,
bloomdido,
bloom ditty bop
bop bop,
they made it bloom
like a gigantic flower
or millions of flowers
in a magnificent garden,
bop,
they gave it life
& made it bloom,
dido,
bop,
& great flowers emerged
in the middle of the night,
they made it bloom,
they gave it life,
they made it all happen at once
