Sax in Every Room

not enough has been written
will ever be written – can words
even approximate a just figure
for the saxophone? smooth
as no other measure of smooth
definitive of cool in musics
across the spectrum: blues, jazz, rock
classic, fusion, ska, etc, and future
perhaps we should include
a full golden album of saxophone
on the next exploration drone
shot into forever, that immortal
we shall be known as smooth, cool
universal fourteen million years
from now when intelligent life
finds our bottle washed up on their shore.
