In the living room,
we listened to music together,
songs we downloaded
from the internet...
"Hey, have you heard this?
See if you remember this one."
Vince Gill's romantic crooning,
funny songs from
the Bob and Tom show,
Tom Jones re-make
of an old Prince song...
And we sang together
or remembered or
closed our eyes and
just felt and listened.
The hours ticked away
as we let music
steal our time and
our memories, bringing
us together the way
that true art can do.
