At the March 19, 2016 event, Art of Poetry’s Kelly DeMaegd reads her piece that’s got the rhythm Miles Davis brought to his music and what the photographer James Biggers captured in his untitled work that inspired her. Photo courtesy of Roger and Ginny Sanford.

MILES DAVIS
after “Untitled” by James Biggers
done birthing the cool
windows open
listens all night
whistles, noise, city
gritty sidewalk talk
poised for a new beat
be-bop mixed with hip-hop
needs producer Young Easy’s
abilities, Easy Mo Bee
lays down six tracks, steps back
legendary Miles Davis
kicks out the melody
no throbbing vibrato
round sound, attitude down
shoo-bop, doo-bop
car horns blast
glass kicks back
chrome lets go
Sir Miles
yeah, Miles
just blows
