i’m vinyl baby, easy to scratch, easy to gouge, prone to warping. i’m a 45 rpm record, single and labelled, still got track marks. dot dot dot from the seventies! you know there’s my black side, my dark side. i’m a 45 rpm record, single and labelled, still got track marks. you, you’re my diamond needle. i'm your music, you know me, you play me. you, you’re my diamond needle. gets under my skin rides my grooves you. still, even pass these years, still, when my time comes, pack me in my jacket bury me in your closet. you know i’m still your song, your tune, dot dot dot you make my life neat. spin like a circle i’m the black vinyl on the roundabout you, your still the only turntable for me. you. i’m a 45 rpm record, single and labelled, still got track marks. play me! 14~12~2015 Maurice Yvonne

Once again, you warm my heart with the passion for something that has become irrelevant to the average mind in this fast paced and materialistic society we live in. Today I feel less outnumbered and have hope for the passions I sometimes feel, I alone care for. This poem is the reason for my new found motivation and for that I thank you.

Enjoyable and easy to read. A metaphor I never would have looked for.

This is very clever, Maurice. I still play my old records when I'm in the mood; love the wobbly movement and the hum of the needle. #7 // paul

you spin me round like a record round round, like a record.... Hmmm, how did that go?? I really LIKES this. It reminds me of that old song I also like so much. Also there is another song out there in the modern world, similar to this theme. I think that one says " a radio" Such an awesome poem!!! SEven and you know what else!
