Sprezzatura Jazz Divan

When a word springs sound sprigs 
The tree me says to fall with meaning
I won't-can't look up rustler diction
Were I to be sanded down 
Shoved full of not-exactly-lead
And forced to fill out a scantron
I would write the letter 马
As my only recollection 
From a C, see, that minus sign
Could have made me into 
The twiggy failure
Who ever clever autumns
