there is this hot broad
down the street
about 63,
low smokers voice,
she writes for all the jazz rags
around town,
we talk once in a while,
I say hi to her on the street,
hit her up, hey, what’s happening this weekend?
she gives me all the low down on all the jazz scene.
there is this hot broad down the street,
63, hot in her day and hot even now.
the spirit is still there raw at 63,
I can sense it, I can sense it.

That was very cool Mike!
alright! i love men who refer to
women over 60 as “hot broads”–
ones who see the spirit…
