we were fishing
in a lake last
weekend


darkness fell


i turned on
billie holiday
on my phone



i left it loose in
the pocket of
my jacket



and it sounded
like an old radio



and we paddled
and we paddled



and we drifted



within the shelter
of trees



and we drifted



dislodged
from time




and man
did it ever
sound so
sweet



employing the
latest technology
in the oldest way






who says
we can't create
our own world within
the modern world

I adore listening to Billie Holiday, but this version of listening to Billie Holiday is something entirely different, very special. So true, who says...
