maybe not today
maybe not today
but somedays
i know (as much as i can)
how hard it is
not to drop the needle
into old thick grooves
&
replay
the record of ages
it shows
you said
which is so beautiful
because the very thing about it is
that
it doesn’t show
when you have a hard time
staying put
it only shows when you fall in
there’s a storm on inside while
the tea is served
the phone call made
the car parked
the thing said aloud
