Jazz Poetry and Unitarian Universalism
(presented with a beat on Sunday March 10th, 2019 to UU Fayetteville, AR)
Jazz poetry should never use the words
Unitarian Or Universalism…
Just listen to them…
Unitarian
Universalism…
They break the Beat…
They smell like Feet!
They kill any Heat!
That just saying something as Cool as – Jazz Poetry – might complete!
How can I compete
Using a word that bleats like… Unitarian?
Try to Rhyme It!
Try to Climb it!
Lasso and Bind it!
There is no fair Climate, it just blows…
Unitarian – the original Swear Word
A dirty underwear word
By the Trinitarian majority
A put down,
A hold to the ground
Try to drown the heresy word…
Of union… Of a singularity…
Of a Jazzy God that is one with all,
A UNITY!
No need for more, a waste of time…
If time is your thing…
Divine in its singularity
A Big Bang throwing its stuff around
with all the ensuing Hilarity (12 seasons now)
Who needs more than a Unity?
Two more? Why…
Even Three?
Why Three? When Billions and Billions of Realities
Crowd the doors of the Universe…
A Jazzy, Snazzy universe, where quantum oddness holds court,
You might run into the wall, or you might run through…
Try it and see
The cat is both dead and alive!
Observationally…
We might be in two places at once…
Just try to prove it…
A Jazzy, Snazzy Universe where odd things happen…
odd things Like me… like You…
Out of the Bang of the Unity comes the beat of the Jazz
and Evolution of that beat, formation
Of Galaxies, and Stars, moons and earths…
Evolution
That Gave us Fins and Flippers
Fingers and Flyers
Fountains and Fathers….
And the letter F…
M came later,
But we know Mothers came first…
Or did they??? Who knows…
really, who knows!?!
All just Because…
Jazz Poetry hates the word Unitarian,
Tolerates the word Universalist – why not?
Why not Build a solid beat around Unity and Universe
And who knows why it would, or wouldn’t?
No one…
It’s Just Jazz
by Fawn Smith
Led by Renée Janski, Mike McMullin, and Rev. Jim Parrish, with special musical Ensemble performances by Ronda Jean (bass), Mike McMullin (trumpet), and Renée Janski (keys and vocals)!
