off minor 
( what now )

for nkenge zola


monk's birth certificate
calls him `thelius 
& puts him here on earth
in 1917. some time later

monk enters our lives
as thelonious sphere monk
with three years lopped
off his age. the symmetry

must have been irresistable
to the young master
of rhythm & rhyme 
ten, ten, twenty, or

one & one is two
with those three round zeros
marching across the page
off minor like that



oak park, michigan
may 30, 1984
