Blue Sue
© Rudolph 1984
Blue Sue knew
a discursive tongue
that musically drew
perplexing enigmas
of a bizarre hue
She was true
to a heuristic imagination,
and she would do
amazing imitations, incantations, recitations
downright taboo voodoo
She wasn’t an ingénue
She was magically whimsical,
ostensibly mystical,
and lyrically paradoxical.
And when she flew
we all knew
it wasn't mere hallucination.
