The absorption of music operates
individualistically, in spite of
communal structures, hitocracies,
group performance, and ubiquitous

was the violin-player in a four-
person acoustic jazz band induced
by the present music and her
personal compunctions to play
with her hair, twisting it with
one finger, then looking at it

she waited (was she waiting?)
for a guitarist to complete
his wailing interval.
* "wailing interval"--sometimes
used by Duke Ellington to refer to
an instrumental solo
