Robert Johnson and I

sing sad songs. He holds the neck of a beer bottle filled with poison against the handle of the guitar. I wear a cheap pinstripe suit.

T-Bone Walker and I

sing slow songs. He hasn't shaved in a few days. I wear a crushed black cowboy hat and a plaid shirt.

Ella Fitzgerald and I

sing improvised songs. Her eyes roll towards the white ceiling. I laugh too loud at the smooth gibberish of her verses.

Jimmy Durante and I

sing old songs. He presses his stumpy hands against his smooth suit, over his heart. I look down at the elderly couple holding hands.
