Gershwin Poem


Poetic notes on Fascinating Rhythm by Deena Rosenberg
Two brothers
Fascinated by the polyrhythmic city
Meshing gears

The syncopation of different races
Black notes and blues notes
Afric' an' Jew notes
From slaves and from synagogues
Cantors in Cadillacs
An Empire Statement sound
Resounding
Jitterbugging through their brains
