How do you write poems and play jazz?

Improvisation
Improvisation is a song, a poem.The song consists of sentences. Each sentence consists of words.
You are using ordinary wordsWords that are familiar to you. Words that you use in your everyday life.
But you combine the words in a new way.A new and surprising way, so you will get a new sentence which isnot ordinary or familiar.
Then, you combine the sentences.You get a new song, a poem.
You get something that you've never heard before. Something that expandyour consciousness.
That's improvisationThat's poetry.
