(Listen to "What Does Jasmine?")
What Does
Jasmine?
What does Jasmine? Simply a word, or is it a verb?
Perhaps the sweet herb of
pillows and dreams
What does Jasmine? The beat syncopation of
street innovation?
The scheme to enhance the
dance on a theme?
What does Jasmine? She comes in the morning, covered in dew
She leaves with the
warning: “This could happen to you!”
What does Jasmine? A smoky club with the
trumpet and snare?
The sax and the love, the
pulse pumping in there?
What does Jasmine? It’s the moment of now and the don’t ask me
how
And the realm of the
powerful whelming of wow!
What does Jasmine? Professing spontaneous exuberance
While suppressing extraneous
protuberance?
What does Jasmine? Perception alteration
through a powerful deleriant?
No, affection, celebration,
and the flower of experience.
