"I’m sorry, it is about a record and/or a record player, is it not?"

Good catch! A poem from the viewpoint of the needle in the record player.

"When all is silent otherwise, I dance."

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I wish I could join the poets here at Amy’s place & paint pictures with words. Alas, I am only artistic with a pencil & paper in terms of actually drawing the object(s) I’m looking at with lines and heavier or lighter pressure on the paper from the pencil lead & my hand.

I bought a print at WalMart of a little girl drawing & her kitten trying to play with the pencil because it reminded me of myself & my cat (not that I’m a little girl, & my cat is no longer a kitten).

Back to your poem, the needle does tend to go up and down & back & forth a little as it goes across the record.
