“When you hit a wrong note, it’s the next note you play
that determines if it’s good or bad.” —Miles Davis
there are no bad notes if you’re
open smart and quick
there’ll be a next note: 2nd rung
on a ladder stepping up from a ditch
a newly-turned rudder of the ship
you’ll sail to hope from glitch
the chance is not remote
you’ll rise to yes from mumbled bitch
if you crack your shell you’ll note
that next can overcome a hitch
so bravely re-quote and take
your song from poor to rich
