Bob Kaufman : Round about midnight

Bob Kaufman, 1925-1986

Jazz radio on a midnight kick,
Round about midnight.

Sitting on the bed,
With a jazz type chick
Round about midnight,

Piano laughter, in my ears,
Round about midnight.

Stirring up laughter, dying tears,
Round about midnight.

Soft blue voices, muted grins,
Excited voices, Father's sins,
Round about midnight.

Come on baby, take off your clothes,
Round about midnight.

Bob Kaufman (mort il y a vingt-cinq ans, à San Francisco, à l'âge de 60 ans)
