Linseed Oil

Jazz lounge with hazes and happy faces
Blues players join in.
I smell... linseed oil,
My opiate-portal to the land of creation,
Vehicle of aesthetic impulses,
Binder of pigment,
Newly painted scent,
Deliquium of the efflorenscence spectrum.

It works best in conjunction with
a pigment mixed with a binder,
simbiotic with color.
Like a therapist who helps
Push through problems
It can be added in doses.
To an overdose victim:
an adrenaline shot.
It's an actor who relies on
Suspension of disbelief.

It's a musician with
Voodoo qualities.
A Vandalic poet on
A mistical mind enhancer.
Like the Big Easy
New Orleans ragtimers
True southern comfort
Smoothed out the way
The sax smoothed out jazz.
