15 Songs (NaPoWriMo 2015)

(NaPoWriMo Theme: 10 Year Reunion)

In 2001
My sophomore year of high school
I got the new Gorillaz CD
They were a cool band
With cool songs
And this CD had 15 of them.

So thankful we had come so far from the days of
Records
A Track Tapes
Cassettes
My CD player
Came everywhere with me
Going through the anguish
Of trying to fit the big round device
Into regular sized pockets
I would listen to my songs
While walking in the hallway between class rooms

I had my favorites on the CD
But listened to all of them
Got to know all of them
Just me and the band’s music
Little did I know
That by the time of my 10 year high school reunion
The devices we’d have would be 15 times smaller
Hold over 15,000 songs on them
And that it wouldn’t be very often
That anyone would listen
To an entire album
Anymore.
