As/Is

To hit that sweet spot
unaging little girl in comic strip
unpronounceable name
she smiles when the sound reaches her
but without moving her eyebrows

The way we were taught to look at stars slightly off-center
true middle-age -- waking at 6 I can’t retrieve the name of Bud Powell
recalcitrant memory -- has definitely read his Asbhery
and like O’Hara can swim in the Ocean
an event to train for

Conventionally good
warm full-bodied sound
