Headphones Ears listen to a sound no one else can hear Even though people are near The word plug is not a good word to describe The way you put the buds inside The buds bloom as sound pours out Like juicy honey out of a spout Many people stand around Yet no one else can hear this sound They can't feel the energy of the music itself Just like like has been left on the shelf The bounce of the beat The hum of the bass The way you feel wrapped in in personal space The music ends just as it started And very slowly, the music darted To a different song A different place A different pace
