for John David Salons and Gabriel Solis
It’s all about the gig, man – hands and strings
and drums and voices and now and then throw
in some brass. And an audience listening
then moving then being moved. Take a bow.
It’s all about hands with clipper and comb,
circling the chair for angles to sculpt locks,
client smiling, being moved. From the womb
we roll out into air, challenge the clock,
touch brush to paint to canvas, pen to ink
to paper, dance fingers across keyboard
to monitor – levitate on the brink
at times – all to create image – accord
with the universe. We may not know how
or why, yet we understand. Take a bow.
