All At Once

by Katherine - Aquarius

>shiver< the cold air rushes in
in a breeze from the door
goose bumps accompany my limbs
and the sharp-edged sensitive child smiles
asks questions and tells tales
that came from half-learned
partly-true incidences.
a feeling of memory through my ears
Hendrix sings between the cracks
of many noises
barely audible from my perspective
as the stereo sings of not accepting
the fact that he will have to die
sooner or later
while the muted television paints captions
explaining music in words
presenting a turning disco ball 
reflecting a hundred pieces of light.
sometimes I can only hear the vague pattern
in the hum of my computer.
