Laurel (verb)

"Are you a vinyl guy?" I ask SLC Brandon.
"Yep," he says. "And Saturday is record store day."

I am not ready for that addiction;
too expensive.
I have a few albums which hang on walls,
or sit in a box in a storage unit.

Bob Dylan and Devendra.
Billy Joel and Billie Holliday.

I tell Brandon that Balto
is coming to SLC, 
playing The State Room,
and that he would like them. 

He texts me later that he likes them,
and will try to go,
but I assume he probably won't.

Brandon is a good Mormon dude,
and I am glad we've kept in touch,
especially after the Atlanta Super Bowl debacle.

We both hate when someone asks,
'What is your favorite album?',
yet we are allowed to ask others.
