A moment of intimacy, a black woman
and me, dark room,
fuckheads who think of sex when a sax is played
you remember (in soundtracks) 80’s saxophone cliches (…)
you remember (in soundtracks) 80’s electric guitar cliches (…)
And now this: she, yeah, she plays the sax,
all the time,
a very long track, a not so very long track,
and I remember Anthony Braxton saxophone albums
and I remember Mongezi Feza playing the trumpet
on a Robert Wyatt album
Matana is stranger than Roberts,
and I remember the American South
