I go into 

A store

To look

Around.

A little

Shop

Downtown.

Smells

Like old 

Books.

Boom boom

The bass of the

Music

Is a little loud.

The young 

Man 

Behind the counter

Has the music 

A little

Loud.

I find

Myself

Tapping my 

Foot like

And eighty year

Old lady.

As I look,

I hear 

The young 

Man talking

To another

Customer

About this

Song 

This band.

Who I

Have

No

Idea

Who

It is.

As I tap

My feet 

I feel my head

Bouncing

Back

And

Forth.

Great

Beat, right lady?

The young man

Calls

Out.

All I can think

To

Respond

Is,

Word!

I start laughing

To

Myself ... Word?

Really?

As I walk

Out

The

Young man

Says, 

Thanks

For coming in.

Oh yeah, he

Says

With a smile,

Word!

Music 

Connects

Us

All.

As i 

Walk

Away I

Laugh

And

Smile...

Word.
