    quicksilver people

     

          there’s this group from Brooklyn

                       gangster guys

                             with 30’s music

               and spike jones washboard

         squeeze horns   rapid fire notes

                        razzle dazzle

                              and he tips his hat

                                        plays his body

              like the bevy of instruments he juggles

                     no wasted motion

                                and

                                  keaton

                                        chaplin

                                              this guy

                                skin and bone and muscle       

           they make their own music

                    like water over Niagara

                          they glisten

                                dance

                                    and never ever can stop
