Keep the coffee cooking
on cloudy days.
Playing records
reliving the days
when when the cartilage didn't creek.
Celebrate the sorrows
shirking responsibilities
surrendering to cicumstances
in and out of my control.
Turn the dial to make the ceiling shake
let the neighbors know.
Share my selections with those
tending to their yards down the block.
They don't ever seem grateful
put their heads down
when I drive by.
The mile markers in the music
as real as the grey hair growing.

Saved by the sound
something magic
in the memories
revisited in stereo.
