awkward and indestructible

we like to ride all night
and i know it sounds corny
when you're wounded in jazz

the sun burnt my skin so bad
that i had to take my shirt off in a friends apartment
to lube myself down with aloe juice
or something else
i can never remember

it's that stiff cigarette
staring down the club
with a hardcore solo

sax cutting through everything
even rookie mistakes

there are the dexter gordons
and there are the art blakeys


and that doesn't even mean anything
