What Would Bird Do?
A way of dealing with illegitimate concern,
A question, once asked, that yields little
Except a yearning for times past.
Jazz, up in the Summertime, when the living was easy.
Problems dismissed like the chords on Bird's solos.
Devil May Care,
Dewey Square,
An Exclamation,
Ah-Lieu-Cha!
Yet the question still remains.
Nothing's going your way.
No, I don't wanna get high today.
Now isn't the time for John Coltrane or Lady Day.
Now's the time. Now's the time.
A Bird awaits.
Raindrops fall.
April, in Paris, in May.
A bench, a park.
Sat down, the President and Lady Day.
A Nightingale singing in the dark,
Weaving through the rhythm, a whistle and a spark.
Is that not Bird?
Unmistakeable to have heard.
A light relief, the answer to the question.
What Would Bird do?
No doubt play, and eat and smoke.
But waiting in the raindrop park
The Be-bop bird is alive,
A lark.
Or a dove or swan.
Either way the answer's not done.
What Would Bird do?
Bird lives it's true,
But I'm not yet through.
The scales are blue,
Billie's here,
I'm still you.
