This is an ancient artform, <br />A relic almost sacred I told her <br />As I placed the huge black disc onto the platform. <br />I've never even seen one of these she confessed. <br /> <br />The needle found a track. <br />Every crack and pop echoed off the walls. <br />We were alone in the room. <br /> <br />Static. <br />Shake the wire til there's sound. <br />The sound of Billie Holliday's voice. <br />This is a great record to fall in love with I said. <br /> <br />She agreed with a kiss.<br /><br />Patrick O'Reilly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ancient-artform/
