Oscar Peterson

his classy white pontiac turns into your driveway
and he steps out
tuxedo ruffling in the wind

it’s a warm day but he seems to stay cool
you walk with him around back and ask him what he would like
anything will do he says
and you bring him a glass of chardonnay

sitting in the shade
he sips and begins to chat
topics range from gardening to sports
his voice clear and kind
but he doesn’t slow down
and you find it hard to keep up with his
racing
                nimble
                                mind

but you feel cool and classy
like a ruffled tuxedo
