April in Paris (with Nicole)

Had this poem in different versions for a while now. I think this might be what I was looking for.

ON A CLEAR DAY

Let's stop pretending we understand jazz"
Nicole Blackman


Let's start charting, (We understand Pi.)
let's taste, budding cognizance of tongues
let's sign, waving we comprehend tangents,
Let's strip, opening we complicate clothes.

Let's steam, reddening we understand Blues,
let's hope humming, we harmonize Bird,
let's scale, mapping we understudy Miles,
let's train, loving we sublimate supremes.

Let's tongue, kissing, we understand heat.
Let's sweat, dripping we duplicate drums,
Let's loop, proving we apprehend knot,
Let's stop. Being we now understand Bop.
