Charlie Parker looked like Buddha.
Charlie Parker who recently died laughing at juggler on TV,
after weeks of strain and sickness.
Was called the perfect musician
and his expression on his face was as calm,
beautiful and profound as the image of the Buddha,
represented in the East, belittled eyes.
The expression that says: all is well.
"To a Poet a Thousand Years Hence"

read out my words at night, alone:
I was a poet, I was young.
student of our sweet English tongue,
read out my words at night, alone:
I was a poet, I was young.
