1 October 2008. Soft lines of hills, yellow dawn--empezando. Notice taped to pool desk counter--also yellow lines, announcing close. Better the world...
A white ermine hat--or is it badger--or just fuzz? Thelonious as he was--blocky form, alert in perennial big-man's slouch, back straight--up towards the shoulder, whence the arm, the wrist... Playing with his thumb--splayed flat. Percussion precision: Dunh-dahhh....duh-duh-duh duh duhh, duh-duhhhhhhh.....dunh-duhhh...
Transcription impossible--it's either you or it's not. An essentialist here? We're talkin' grace, maybe, or truth, or justice, even...
