The music kept on
playing
not stopping
for nothing
it just kept going
as if the first slap
hadn't happened
or the ouch...second
for that matter.
Only when the record
approached its end groove
did it give
a little nervous hiccup
of
apology
& said: 'I'll say
forever my love! '
' 'I'll say
forever my love! '
'Turn that damn thing
...off! '
she swatted
the music
like it was a fly
annoying her
creating a loud
screechy scratch
which propelled the record
back to its beginning
the music kept on
playing
giving only a nervous
little jump
as the door
slammed.
