MY ROCKIN’ MUSIC<br />
Post-forties born, torn<br />
between Sweet Caroline and Tangerine.<br />
I prefer the earlier kind,<br />
Glenn Miller’s Begin the Beguine,<br />
fifties’ wringer washing machine<br />
humming to get the laundry clean,<br />
clothes sunshine-dried on the line,<br />
music soaking into my preschool mind.<br />
Melodies that I carry are mine<br />
a half-century later when I<br />
need something older to soothe<br />
these nasty New Millennium blues.<br />
