bluehawk 

for wallace lester


late one night
in the early 60s
between sets
at the village vanguard

charles mingus
was holding forth
on the current struggle for black liberation
& making a lot of noise

when monk walked up,
stood there & listened,
then shook his head
& said to charlie,

goddamn,
mingus,
i never knew
you was black!
