Poem by Doniell Cushman
Minor, Major, Diminished
Three together Or four, plus 6 Bang Bang Bang Slapping it out on those ivories One, two, C7+13 Why would anyone use a thirteen? Can't we just use a six? Gently cascading Falling like droplets off the gutter Splotching with a slap Bang Bang Bang Roman numeral four augmented Forbidden devil's music Or Westside Story, thanks Bernstein Get them out perfect fifth Or fourth plus 6 M-i-n or m-i or m Or M Or no M Third inversion add two Like a Steely Dan chord Mr. Turnbull would stop us and yell "yeah" as he nodded his head, eyes gleaming Major-minor seventh Qualify that group © Doniell Cushman.
