Distorted Records

 By Ryan Hallam

-

Distorted Records, head laid back, hearing two separate conversations each ear takes one

My name is? Something? Trying to remember words, are scrambled eggs.

Missed you, and your calls woke up on the park bench. Strangers perplexed, puzzled, wish to be alone, one picks up a phone, turn my head away close my eyes and start to dream

Tea leaf dancers circling around me. Heartly Harps resurrect me. Siren sounds turn to reality.
