Easter Sunday Blues

My brother on WhatsApp
sits at the little upright
in his Sao Paolo studio
reminds me that it's Pesach
with a jazzed up Go Down Moses
sounding for all the world
like a Missisippi blues
his voice is hoarse and raspy
like Bobby Zimmerman's
who made it to the Nobel Prize
though I wonder how far he'd have gone
if he hadn't changed his name?
