Sitting on a cluttered desk
Lopsided from a frightening fall
off a deck
Its cold aluminum back bent.
It was the talk of the town when it
was built,
Now it watches as the new model takes
its place,
Like a horse who can no longer win
a race.
The black slab thinks back to all the
grand times it had
To a time when it was gladly held
To the thousands of jams it played
in A minor
Like an old jukebox in a ‘50s diner.
Its mirrored surface still reflects
the morning sun
Even though it goes without being seen.
Its owner has moved on,
Its glory days are long gone.
