Fortunately I had good acoustic headphones
and big-power stereo
to give my heart a sonic blast,
to crack, fracture, crush, splinter,
pulverize and blow out —
all the thoughts of you!

Not a tear —
'till the last spec
gets sucked up
in the wild
turbulent
furious
tornado.

Then the flood:
to clean, soothe,
and cool the
shiny surface.

- No stains, no stick!
