Freddie Freeloader, by Alex G.

 A cold sidewalk

paves the way to

a club:

Blue Note on 52nd.


Tunes lift from the paper

on the glassy updraught

from beneath his feet.

It's hot here in Birdland.


A shot stings the

cool as he lifts

his horn to play.


Where's Lester?

Shootin' up in the

road as the band 

stays silent.


No money tonight, Miles.
