a really good song has your throat by the first eight-count br owning your heartbeat as it opens up wide br br it lays on your tongue smooth as chocolate br then bites down hard like good whiskey br br a really good one sticks to your brain like dementia br and doesn't let go until it is through with you, br br sinking in deep like an old friend, pumping rhythm br intravenously like a sweet soul transfusion br br it begs your body to shut up, shut down and let go br drowning every pore in melodic waves of ecstasy br br rattling your spine with such a shock wave br as coffee and greater sins could only dream br br like sex without the consequences br instant zen, yours for the taking br br a really good song, if it is really good br stamps your soul with a reminder br br of who you are, were, or can be br when you are better than you ever thought possiblebr br Lori Boulardbr br
