Easy Boogie
Easy Boogie - meaning Summary
Music as Bodily Feeling
The poem celebrates a relaxed, rhythmic jazz/blues groove and the bodily pleasure it evokes. Repetition and short lines mimic a steady beat, while images of walking, rolling, riffs, and breaks connect music to motion and intimate feeling. The speaker responds physically and sensually to the sound, merging public rhythm with private satisfaction. The tone is playful, immediate, and rooted in the embodied experience of music.
