has been with us since
a three-year-old
John Coltrane
said
"Dex put me
and He is
My Love Supreme"
Ten copies of
Mr. Gordon's
Jefferson High School
report cards
are securely stored
less than fifty feet
from where
I write this page

The same thing is true
about his junior high school
yearbook photos
In 1987,
Dexter was nominated
for an Academy Award
for his stellar performance
—musically + theatrically—
In 1999,
I earned my chops
as a legitimate
musical historian
My first paycheck
from Dexter's widow
is 2.5 times the size
of my paycheck
In other words,
$(20 x 2.5 = 50)
