The Ghost In Music

The Ghost In Music

I'm dying all the time. 
I sit in a car and an Indian girl's
ghost appears next to me. She is
holding John Lennon's scalp. 

I don't know how she knows i'm a Beatles's fan.
Maybe it's because we are all Beatles's fans. 

I wonder if i would be offended
if she had Chuck Berry's scalp
Would i see it as a hate crime. 

i'm dying all the time. The only 
way i'm not dying is if i'm playing music
but then the ghost come. Cash comes
and asks if the ghost in music is alive.

Angeline Haikutwinkle January 2, 2017 at 9:12 PM You have some interesting metaphors in this piece as if you're evaluating your own conscience or choices.
