Mentor

This is a tribute to my hesitant mentor.

The fabric of our restraints was sewn in the same sweat shop,

probably in the Philippines.

And the neighborhood watch guarding our brains is asleep on the job

accept me as your student

I supplicate myself on bony knees.

My heart beats irregularly because it needs a valve and cylinder job

like your dust-covered Kawasaki Custom Dream Bike

Give the angels the keys and show me some blues scales.
