Dex

John Raffetto

A return from Parisian coffeehouses
and electric espresso.
A respite from Jim Crow sheet music.

Tonight tables are filled with
polka-dots and moonbeams.

Golden
tenor saxophone
takes repeated bows
from a standing-room
of blue notes.

Crowds line Rush Street
for the second show
and the third.

Showcase Siegel
condescends
the smoky club.
Long tall Dex
in society red
relaxes
blowing solos into
the wee small hours of the morning.
