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" solo at Newport,
1956, in that momentary era
wherein all the tightly knit
notes of Ellington's orchestra
became/become perfectly tart-sweet
apples in a God's-ear of time.
