Jazz



 kissing cigarettes...

"We are here,
charged with the task of completing
(one might say creating)
ourselves.
The process is jazz.
It requires improvisation,
the daring to strike out on your own
coupled with
a sure grounding in and respect for
the tune on which you are working...
As Robert Frost says,
we must keep the colors of ourselves
unmixed on the palette."

~Afro-American studies scholar WILLIAM COOK
