Listen to my noise

I like jazz for the same reason I love logic puzzles. This music makes my brain do flip flops. I catch a pattern, itentify the repeating melody and suddenly know what to expect - but then the familiar sound is gone, slipped from my mind like silk scarves through fingertips. Each time I think I can claim it, it changes, gone, reborn as something new and challenging.

In this dim hidden place, I watch golden candlelight orbs floating in the palms of waitresses. The flayed fingers on my bare shoulder spark our dark corner. Nothing could be more divine.
