i had some records
that i would put on
the turntable
drop the needle
and spin
them backwards
we’d all heard about
led zeppelin’s secret
messages but the
beatles were more to my
liking
the creepy
paul is dead rumor
–it would be a meme now–
filled me with longing dread
half-hoping it were true
knowing it couldn’t be
vinyl is hip again
in small doses
because you can’t let
nostalgia grow too big
or you won’t make money
my voice is a backwards
message
no needles and vinyl
just digitally flipped
waveforms
like the waves
pulling me out
washing me up

Thank you. And thanks for stopping by.
Welcome 🙂
Why are you so good at poetry?! I loved this! 🙂
Aw, thank you. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
You should record yourself reciting your poetry backwards!

This is excellent. I don’t think I could have fully appreciated it without hearing you read it.
Thank you. It was a fun one to do.
Are you going to add something for the October Open Mic? I know you want to…
I don’t think I’ll have anything to add this month, but when I do come up with something you will be the first to know.
