Throwback Jamz

Sunday morning: listen to Godsmack
and Disturbed for too long
and you will be “enlightened”
by the tone. This will be offset

by listening to Lisa Lisa
and Al B. Sure for too long —
don’t you have better things
to do? Don’t you have

somewhere to go and not listen
to anything? Maybe the whine
of vehicle tires. Maybe the sound
of the engine.

You get to your destination. You
make your tired visit, say all right
things. You leave and sit in your car
in silence — waiting for some sound,

any sound other than dirt screaming
at you to turn on the radio and get going.
It isn’t dirt — it is earth. Screaming at you
to get going. To go home and scream some more

on a Sunday morning
that allegedly is a day
of rest. You can’t fool me
though. I’m tired before it begins.
