the red radio

in an attic box,
i find
my old red transistor radio.
circa 1968.
i open up
the back and put
new batteries in.
it still works,
still emits a sound,
static
and words,
but the music has
changed.
where did it all go?
the songs i knew every
word to,
old friends
have disappeared.
it seems like
yesterday
when i held it to my
ear
and fell asleep 
with them.
