we were fishing
in a lake last
weekend

darkness fell

i turned on
billie holiday
on my phone

i left it loose in
the pocket of
my jacket

and it sounded
like an old radio

and we paddled
and we paddled

and we drifted

within the shelter
of trees

and we drifted

dislodged
from time

and man
did it ever
sound so
sweet

employing the
latest technology
in the oldest way

who says
we can't create
our own world within
the modern world
