Here's the Heat

Found a bottom
to these blues
wrapped in autumn
under ragtime shoes

Trumpet taps
Horn mute moans
Hands go clap
Move them bones

Rise up people
Before the crash
Music steeple
Church like jazz

Swing the big band
trot the fox
don't just stand
in your socks

Rhythm beat
syncopated
Here's the heat
for which we waited
