quicksilver people

 

      there’s this group from Brooklyn

                   gangster guys

                         with 30’s music

           and spike jones washboard

     squeeze horns   rapid fire notes

                    razzle dazzle

                          and he tips his hat

                                    plays his body

          like the bevy of instruments he juggles

                 no wasted motion

                            and

                              keaton

                                    chaplin

                                          this guy

                            skin and bone and muscle       

       they make their own music

                like water over Niagara

                      they glisten

                            dance

                                and never ever can stop
