WASNT EVEN A BIG FAN

i used to have 

this mongrel stereo set-up 

un-recreatable 

because i dont know what id done

two amps linked
thru the tape monitor
or by headphone jack
i dont know . . . 

five speakers
bi-wired or daisy chained
or both
i dont know . . .

& a tired turntable
with a brass imp 

blu-tacked
to the jumping arm

but it made the intro to 

Money For Nothing
sound A M A Z I N G
in the winter dawns

of way back when

we would play it

& play it again

& tweak up the volume

& sit in wonder
with the last of the happy dust
