Archaic
you can hear the hiss
as the needle touches down on the record.
this is how your parents used to listen to music.
black discs slide out from slips of cardboard
emblazoned with large portraits of artists
or some scene abstract or clear.
each side could only hold 20 or so minutes of music.
after one side was done
they would have to get up
and flip the record over
and start the process once more.
they listened.
they would actually
listen.
isn't that all they've ever wanted from us?
