brand new radio

by joel abel - Taurus

brand new radio

when i finally came back home
that summer 
the worst storm of the
year came in right behind me

"he's back, he's back!"
she yelled from the steps
across the street
she told me about her brothers
new card tricks
and her brand new radio
twenty years later i begin
to tune in
i hear that thunderstorm
lightning crackles across
jimi hendrix
the air smelled like water
and the wind blew our
tree house down
and between the storm warnings
and the tornado scare
we heard a brand new sound 
on her
brand new radio.
