I purchased a diminished chord
for more money than I care to admit
the chord has four fingers
and they each skip a string
it's a pretty chord
visually
and it sounds dissonant
yet right.
It's a good chord,
and it was rather expensive.
I wish I knew how to play Autumn Leaves
and could stroll down Paris streets
in a cap
but alas
all I've got
is an earful of CAGED theory.
I sat and listened and listened,
listened to the paint dry.
I practice the C scale for 5 hours
and hurt my hands.
I haven't yet prayed for forgiveness
I don't know what the jazz gods make of me
I realized you can't pay your way in
you need to play your way in
and as a treat I got
this chord.
