Description:Playing “St. Louis Blues” at AuschwitzConsider all possible universes:the ones that quickly collapseinto black holes, the ones filledwith double-crested cormorants,Queen Anne’s lace and quasars,the ones that glow with blueand yellow stars that last forever,the ones with only planets wrappedin poison atmospheres and deserts.Picture the planet Earth in onepossible universe, where at firstonly a faint sound comes outof the trumpet at Louis Bannet’sfrozen lips, then a few sputtered notesas the guards walk toward him.Frostbitten from head to toe, he liftsthe trumpet, tries again, and the guardsstop when “St. Louis Blues” begins.They change like water goingfrom ice to liquid, like the universeblooming from nothing at the Big Bang.He plays as people go off to work.He plays as the trains come in,“Between the Devil & the Deep Blue Sea,”in one possible universe, where momentsare stacked liked cards, the past with noexistence, except in the present.Moments are shuffled and reshuffledto give the illusion of time and history.Everything happens at once and forever.Somewhere Bannet is still playing“Ain’t Misbehavin’” and “Tiger Rag”at a party for Dr. Mengele, hiddenfrom the guests behind some plants,and in all universes where trumpets blast,as long as he plays, he lives, they dance.— Lucille Lang DayFrom The Curvature of BlueWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
