Small Changes
(Stick To Your Essence)
I just do the honest song.
Born ’34, exposed to bebop jazz in ’50,
Took it in and went from there
Using changes in the air, my hair,
The wars, the weather –
Any/every- bringing on the songs
Borne from soul-meant-to sing.
Review of Morrisette said,
“Driven, pushed, experimental…
Great but lost…
Put your money on her past.”
Revolutionary changes,
Quirky works sold prematurely –
Ready change that branches out
Is evolution-steady,
Never artful, not a standstill.
I re-make, re-work, relent.
Change seems to do me,
I assent and ‘be’ – content
Continually.
