In the jukebox mind

In the jukebox mind

A Poem by andrew mitchell

The soundtrack
of the mind
be it past
or present
is hard to define
until you hear it -
a concert of a lifetime
in the making of
finding that tune
from “ What was that song?”

Songs, like this, many from that yesteryear of when we were both young and carefree and had our entire lives ahead of us, or so we thought: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tqfUjLQAAg ... and, in preparing to marry her a second time, because she was suffering from early dementia and my kids were discussing putting her in a home: (by the way, she was Hispanic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rfHxTqGS_c

Thanks, for taking me back in time again for just a moment.
