Leaving Saturn

Sun Ra & His Year 2000 Myth Science Arkestra at Grendel's Lair Cabaret, 1986

by Major Jackson.

Skyrocketed—
My eyes dilate old
Copper pennies.
Effortlessly, I play
*
Manifesto of the One
Stringed Harp. Only

Ashore, ship-wrecked
*
In Birmingham.
My black porcelain
Fingers, my sole
Possession. So I
*
Hammer out
Equations for
A New Thing.
