"Headphones"

by Kenny Trillo 

Bobbing his head up and down,

Listening to the tune from his ear buds,

With his eyes closed, the music floods his head,

And the cord wraps around his neck.

But he continues to enjoy the sound,

Unknowing to the hold the song has on him,

Controlling his breath,

His thoughts,

His emotions,

Feeding a story through chords.

And he listens against his will,

Taken over by a melody.
