so many songs about saturday night
up and down the radio dial
forever cast into eternity
thanks to artistry and antigravity
and there you are behind the curtain
hairbrush in your hand
belting out your favorite songs
younger siblings doubting your sanity
may two thousand eighteen

it’s another saturday night and all I got
is some elton john and guess who
your aces and eights beating
my sixteens and seventeens and eighteens
it’s gotten to the point it’s not funny anymore
though I tell you to shuffle yet again
expecting a different outcome
you’ve got me hypnotized she would say
but all I could see was her wide awake eyes
showing me signs throughout the night
I’ve never once considered
I keep changing vinyls on turntable
mostly long plays but some forty-fives
plenty of sunshine stored in the fridge
otherwise keeping warm by candlelight
january two thousand eighteen
