Headphones

I catch her sometimes, listening to music with her headphones on and her eyes closed. Her head bobbing, shoulder bouncing, lips moving to the words, and her hand glowing to the down beat. Her body is so in sync with the music I can almost hear it. She doesn’t care who’s watching because in that moment it’s just her and the sounds driving her deeper into a world guided only by the rhythm and rhyme of what comes out of those headphones.

I want to be those headphones.
