One of these days
I’m going to listen
to everything in my
collection, one record
after another record,
non-stop, until I get
to the end, from A to Z,
I won’t stop, until
the last record album
is played. I’ll allow
myself to do other
things, eat, walk dogs,
and do household
chores and the like,
but there will be
music going from
the moment I fry
an egg in the morning
to the last nightcap
at the end of the evening
at which point I will
stop listening and
then go to sleep.
I’ll wake up and start
over and I won’t stop
until I’ve reached
the end of the last
record in the collection.
I don’t know how
long it will take me
but I know that by
the end of the
experience I will
have listened to
everything and that
will absolutely justify
the having and holding
of so many record albums
because I know that I
will like every single
one of them and will want,
someday, to do that
all over again.
