Poem-A-Day: New years' morning by Carl Adamshick

January 1, 2014 New years' morning by Carl Adamshick     A low, quiet music is playing--  distorted trumpet, torn bass line,  white windows. My palms  are two speakers the size  of pool-hall coasters. I lay them on the dark table  for you to repair.                   Copyright © 2010 by Carl Adamshick.
