Power Outage 1988 Walkman Memory

percussion hailstorm
my ears no longer bored
daydreaming about oceans

mixing memories
during power outage thoughts
an escapade my uber sunshine

nodding my head with eyes closed
to some rare 90s hip hop
candy sunglasses tastes like cinnamon

watching lightning threaten me
as i sit under a tree
remembering things like the fiddlers three

now the wind is a flute 
from a funky 70s jazz song
my emotions floating on air

now its day 17 
the sky has turned purple
paper thin has turned to quick thick

i find myself smiling fully
for good ole music i am a bully
now i push the Good Weight to the Pulley
