A Blue Weber
A Blue Weber as caught in the wild by the great Lensbearing "time stopper" Cal Haines .
And a Poem to go with it :
And a Poem to go with it :
THE WIDE OPEN SPACES WITHIN A BEAT
there is a theory that
some people are able
to slow time down
or, as drummers say:
divide the time
and hear more & more deeply
into the space than us mere mortals
Muhammad Ali was the example used
when this idea was first presented to me
how he'd let himself be rope-a-doped
for ten rounds
and then out of the blue
he'd stop time
and dot some poor unfortunate's lights out
I also posit that Charlie Parker
had these sort of powers
and then there's this drummer in Santa Fe name of Cal Haines
who also, obviously
hears between
the cracks in Time.
