“When you hit a wrong note, it’s the next note you play
that determines if it’s good or bad.” —Miles Davis
Next Note
There are no bad notes
if you’re open, cool and quick
there’ll be a next note:
first rung on a ladder from a ditch
new rudder of a boat
you'll sail to hope from glitch
The chance is not remote
you'll rise to praise from bitch
if you'll crack your shell and note
that next can overcome a hitch
you may courageously re-quote
and take your tune from poor to rich
