yellow headphone meditations

i) tired monk icons

Buddha busts, crucifixes and stained glass...nah
at most a leather Bible tucked
elbow deep under the truck seat

ii) tired monk icons

yellow twisted wire headphones
boxy tape deck whirring
battered cassette case
rock n'wrestling posters faded
but tacked tight to garage walls

iii) tired monk music - (Sony Walkman Sport Edition)

a monk's sacred music:
chanting monks from Tibetan mountain tops,
Gregorian masses, Handel...Bach?

no

just heavy beat sermons
by Beastie Boys, and old master Downie

  5. Love the feeling of the 80's that this poem evokes.
