Back in the borough of Kings, Jonah pressed his key into the lock and stumbled wearily into the apartment. He knew before he had turned the corner into the living room that Isaac was around. He could hear the soft scratch of a record playing, something mid-century and bluesy. The mournful whine of a trumpet. Isaac was deep in the chair by the window, his chunky Dell laptop casting an eerie moonlit glow on his face.
âHey man, I donât mean to get all on you and shit, but rent is due to-morrow.â
âYouâre right. My bad, Iâll get on it.â
âOh, and before I forget, you got another letter from that French girlâexcuse me, pardonnez-moi, from your mademoiselle.â
âOh, yeah.â
âYeah, I put it on the desk in your room. You musta put something special on her, boyâsheâs really feelinâ it, you got her jonesing for you long-distance. I mean, how many times she gotta write you before you go over there and do something about it?â
âNah, man, it ainât even like that.â
âOh yeah, whatâs it like then?â
âMan, I donât know. If I did, I would tell youâ¦Hey, is this Miles?â
âNah, this Booker Little. My uncle Darren played trumpet for a while, knew all about the music. Always told me Booker was his favorite. No one knows how great he was, or how great he might have been âcause he died so young. âBout our age, come to think of it. Cut some beautiful records before he left, though. Contributed his one little piece to the edifice, to the tradition. Played his part. See, I knew you would like this one.â
âOh yeah, howâs that?â
âItâs all about you, chief. Itâs called âMan of Words.â And thatâs you, brother; just listen to that thereâ¦Now thatâs a blues for ya. A blues for the man of words.â
