Play

Play the radio 
Play it so very loud
Play so car mirrors vibrate 

Play it loud 
Play it louder still 
Play it so our ears will hurt 
Play until neighbors say "turn it down" 

Play the radio 
Play it louder and louder 
Play it so the speakers cry "stop!! stop!!!" 

Play it loud 
Play it louder than loud 
Play until the fuses get red hot 
Play it so cars around honk their horns 
Play it louder still so cars around shake their fists 

Play it... play it... Play it...
until it says "Oops"
quietens down
and stops 
dead

    Jim, I love to kick out the jams while I'm driving. In the city, the windows are open, but out on the highway I roll them up or I can't hear the music. Maybe I need a better set of speakers? I like your poem, both message and shape of it.

    Love the poem, the rhythm of it. Also love that our city has finally considered a noise ordinance. It's not that I object to loud music. I object to having non-music inflicted upon me! (I know, it's subjective.)

    I love the speakers crying as if in pain, and I love the radio giving out. That's happened to me in more than one car.

    Lovely poem, Jim! I really like the shape of it as well, very clever! Like a fast forward/rewind symbol :-)

    I love loud music when it's mine, not so keen on hearing others though! Great poem, Jim.

    There's nothing like heading down the road with tunes blaring away the miles. Love this!
