Chemistry



Image by Karsten Hohmeier
Every now and then
a poem stays with me
or a line
gets stuck
in the groove of the vinyl
of my mind,
like you do,
and I let it play.

    Sometimes it is good to get stuck
    and put it on replay...

    __ Grand, Jen; the needle.

    I follow
    a coil that speaks this verse
    the needle

    I love when we can stay in that grove.. Like having that perfect flow... as always you manage to say a lot with few words.

    Yes, this resonates....those phrases - or connections - that inspire.

    I both love and hate ear worms--sometimes though, when we fall into that groove with someone else--it is just magic--

    How incredibly romantic ... unless one wishes to get unstuck! But I had the romantic sense first, because the narrator lets it play.

    gets stuck
    in the groove of the vinyl

    When one gets stuck in a tough situation 'in the groove' it is good to just move on and not be dragged back wasting precious time. Things will fall into place somehow! Nice write Jennifer!

    hmm...I've been there...sometimes the skipping is frustrating, while other times it's quite soothing.
