"leap frog"

for steve cannon


over the top
of everything
that's come before, & then

hunched down
for the future
to vault over your back,

lest we forget
that these are young men,
playful yet deep

with intelligence, bursting
with the joy of discovery
& their unparalleled virtuosity,

beautifully seasoned
in the history & practice
of their music

& sure enough de-
termined
to move the music forward 

leap frog, leap
frog, bird & monk & dizzy

in the days before
the second
world war
