Streak of Bad Luck BluesI believe I am having
a bad luck streak.
Yes, I believe I am having
a bad luck streak.
I went off a cliff on Monday
and I've been falling all week.

On Tuesday I was singing
a song that I wrote.
Tuesday I was singing
a song that I wrote.
But it went up too high -
I could not hit that note.

On Wednesday my lawyer
called me up on the phone.
Wednesday my lawyer
called me on the phone.
He said my case was hopeless
and he was going home.

On Thursday I thought
that things would be fine.
Thursday I was thinking
that things would be fine.
Then a six I had my eye on
turned out to be a nine.

On Friday I heard a trumpet

Here is an orchestra of forty-two -
not too many instruments nor too few.

What happened to the sixteen violins?
Each one has blistered varnish, streaks of soot.

Some reeds and horns have injuries as well.
But many shine and show no sign of harm.

Tonight there is a problem with the score -
the pages disarrayed and on the floor.

We look to the conductor - shreds of light
press in upon the darkness where she stands.

She stands with head bowed down for much too long.
A singer walks on stage - has this been planned?

And the conductor lifts her head and hands.
There will be music. There will be a song.

Premium void fill, not the cheap stuff.

Paper collage on cardboard, about 5 x 7 inches.
