On the Moon dust can rise like a low mist
lifted by electrostatic charges
interacting with magnetic field lines.
The dust will scatter sunlight when the Sun
is rising or setting, a dawn or dusk
made from rock dust rather than atmosphere.
Maybe the dust dances when the Sun shines
and we talk about electric charges
because that’s what our dance has come to here.
Orson Welles didn’t write “Citizen Kane,”
Herman Mankiewicz wrote it but got paid
to allow Welles to put his name on it
because Hollywood people like the phrase
“triple-threat:” Writer, director and star.
Miles Davis didn’t compose “Blue in Green,”
Bill Evans composed it but show business
is a business about selling a star.
And Bill Evans composed “Waltz for Debby.”
I suspect that many of the people
who know who Bill Evans was and who love
the song “Waltz for Debby” know the ‘Debby’
the waltz was written for was Evans’ niece.
Some people still believe Orson Welles wrote
“Citizen Kane” and some people still think
Miles Davis composed the song “Blue in Green.”
I suspect that many of the people
who know who Bill Evans was and who love
the song “Waltz for Debby” know the ‘Debby’
the waltz was written for was Evans’ niece.
There’s no business like show business, I know,
but there are people who somehow know things
beyond the things that show. I think that’s jazz.
