two hundred and twenty three record albums

i stare

at my aging collection of vinyl

LP's.

all of them

stacked together

in the cellar in bins.

originals

from the sixties, seventies

until

8 tracks came

into being.

then cd's,

then Spotify and amazon,

and whatever

else there is out there that

pleases me.

i have Like a Rolling Stone,

and most of Dylan,

in nine different

forms

of music.

but Barbra Streisand,

or Joan Baez,

none.
