(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.
