Toe Tapping In The Arcade, Ann Arbor

Robb Williamson

one horn blows out
a symphony of deep echos,
all those who pass
must pay a price,
a nickel.
a quarter
or float a bill
down my way.
(must pay a price.)

my lips jam
into my silver trumphet,
vibrating a message
clear as the nights sky.
my sounds travels up,
smooth can you dig it,
till it turns the angels on.

hey,look up.
angels bop so cool.
