Records and Tapes (Practice Haiku)

New Jersey traffic
Lexus jackass on bluetooth
what a fucking putz

Cultural critique
only provides more impact
with profanity

Disconnected from

Nostalgia disguised
as unwitting repentance
not quite a question

*

Videocassettes
records and tapes and vinyl
can all still be played

Compare this to that
to this to that to this to
that is everything
