This Song, I Swear

It sounds like sixteen symphonies all battling one another in perfect harmony. It swells in a grand crescendo
and half cuts out.
I slam my door. and it cuts back in.
The thump thump of the back left ball bearing blends with the tap tap of the snare.
and the passenger speaker quits
kick that will you
then gets back to work
and a lead singer with a voice that sounds like butter, if butter was good for you,
battles the defroster.
and his acoustic guitar sounds like the wind.
but that could just be the trunk.

No. Some songs are simply too perfect
to be ruined by an old car
and a crappy sound system


This one goes out to Louie, my Ford Contour and Radical Face for writing songs like "Welcome Home"
What good stuff

    About Me

    My photo
    Libby H
    I have the ability to see the broad and the narrow. I know all the lyrics to songs my parents knew and those of songs no one but I will ever hear but I can't tell you what's on the radio. I can remember the expressions on my friends faces but I'm suprised to find myself at the bottom of a set of stairs. I am a transparent eyeball. But with cataracts.
