Ode to an Ipod

I write with white string headphones
wedged inside my ears
as if I tried for silence
would chaos that I hear.
My poems steal the rhythm
from the Beatles and Madonna
at times I have the spirit
that rivals my Nirvana
but if I unplugged
the IV, I’m sure that I would code
and they’d find Little Orphan
Annie was
the reason that I flowed.
Ode to an Ipod?
This
to an Ipod, owed.

I love the play on words, wow... and how well I know how a particular phrase or rhythm can wake up a muse. *S*

How'd you do that? How'd you put the Beatles and Madonna in the same line and get away with it?... Because you're waaayout there...
