sometimes it's good to go back and read an old write, and remember, where i was back then...

there's a scratch
by Steve Patterson
Monday, February 18, 2002

there's a scratch
on the album in my head.

everytime the phonograph
in my mind starts to play
the song about you & me
there's a skip
and the same parts keep
playing over and over.

the only way to finish
the song is to lift the needle.
but, when i lift the needle
i can't seem to find
the right place to put it back.

some part of the song
keeps getting skipped over.

it gets old listening
to only part of the song.
especially when i really
like the song.

guess i better
get a new song.
or, better yet,
a new record.

Well some songs are just like that and you kind of get used to it in that some things are hard to part with even though it is scratched up.

I think maybe a new needle for the phonograph in your mind might resolve you problem altogether...LOL! Ed
