walk the Walkman
Walk,
Said the Walkman.
No cassette in sight.
It won't go down with a -
Fight.
Clipped onto my pants,
Freeing my hands.
Shuffling in the street,
To my destination.
A cassette store,
That won't return,
I'll have to walk a lot,
Even when it burns.

I know that rhyme, rhythm, and meter are not academically standardized.
I am well aware of that, yet I primarily do free verse, and it's based on instinctual writing.
I try to avoid academic language or structure. My poems are not meant to convey a single answer.
I try to convey the unknown through minimalism, mostly dense short stanzas with many line breaks.
If you'd give a critique, please keep this in mind.
