Note: I wrote this for you, Mr. Stewart. Hope you like it...

*

Used record stores provide the answers

(after considerable searches);

all eye-contacting nervous staff.

*

I see the murmur of kudzu; a stone rest

(and Athens without the histories);

all several centuries before me.

*

Really. Exciting. Music.

(vinyl of their first full play after first gigs)

I have my smile at the counter.

*

Biology scorns my questions.

(a rush to buy; to find facilities)

The quick run to the calm cool seat.

*

Colons provide their own questions

(not so quiet on porcelain; pauses and touches)

Roughage to the rescue.

*

My favours from language? The language I hate?

(all moves from one to other places)

Both provide a hole in one.

A place to think...

*

  • A very di-"stink"-tive picture to close & quite the journey from record store to hole through the floor.

    This was all kinds of fun. Thank you for entering with an ode to vinyl and record stores and an ode to the toilet...lol. Sorta. This made me smile and chuckle. Well done, Kendall.

  • Hahahahahahahahahhahaha omgggg I laughed so much for this! And the fact that kudzu seems so similar to kusu didn't help. In Tamil, kusu means fart 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
