Once upon a time
there lived a little boy
holding a disney radio
trying to grasp for somewhere to
keep his hands on that
oversized
acoustic guitar
that he always seemed to have on him
and one night
while floating skyscrapers
drifted away
from an old, dented, Honda Odyssey
and made way for the endless stream
of empty rainy concrete
joyously called highway
he heard the thunder
of shattered glass
while he left
his old life forever
Holding the acoustic guitar
The thunder sounded like drums
Pounding away
