Sequence

Things happen for a reason,

The soft voice said over the phone,

Check out my web site, use my music,

Give me a link on your page.

I don’t know the reason,

But the conversation that sometimes seems

Lifetimes ago, minutes ago, now,

Rides close and I never tire

Of the music,

We speak now and again

And I am still humbled, ever grateful,

I know that some season the reason

Will become clear why the star

Paul “Sequence” Ferguson

Took time late one New York night

To speak with an unknown poet

From The Island.
