Radio Gaga

a colour blindness
without patronization
rock and roll my king
listening to its vinyl
long before the video

When I first saw the title, I thought Lady Gaga, though I doubted you'd be a fan. I like this poem.

I love your title in this poem Harry. I remember those days with fondness. Time marches on but the heart remembers that which was dear to us. Beautiful! : )

Yes, such truth here, my friend. I'm just thinking of a song, 'Video killed the radio star.'

My sis and I would lay upon my parents bed, listening to the radio, sometimes calling in and waiting for us to play a song.
