Apples of the Ear


[revised]

[one of the great moments in jazz history]






The apple doesn't fall far

from the tree except in quantum summer

when Newton's head doesn't/does

exist and Atom & Eve



know what they don't know, 

a good first step

into the wormhole of Paul

Gonsalvez's "Diminuendo/



Crescendo'" 27 tenor sax 

chorus solos, 1956, in that

momentary eternity

wherein all the tightly knit

notes of Ellington's orchestra



became/become perfectly tart-sweet

apples in a God's-ear of time.
