Recent Technology


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?
