Radios and Phonographs
By lupus tenebrae
Like an elder’s lamentation
comes
to me on amber waves,
of radio and phonograph.
Neon lights
and olden days
are reasons for the season’s night,
like an
elder’s lamentation
for his country style muffins,
like
the wish of silver platters
comes to me on amber waves.
As
my sleep is casual
I catch the corpse of resonance,
of radio
and phonograph.

White noise is good stuff. I've found it to be a kind of poor man's simulation for listening to the ocean. (Hey, not all of us live near the beach, right?) I like how you write nostalgia in such an effective manner at your young age...a testament to the Old Man in your soul. Memories on amber waves is an idea I like very much, for several reasons. Thanks for the lullaby, Jared. Time to pour me a drink.

I know that white, random noise too and sometimes it speaks to me when the world needs to be drowned-out. Some very relatable audio devices mentioned in this period piece, thanks Wolfie, now I really feel ancient (but then I am - just like AM / FM), cheers!
