My IPod World

I've taken to listening to my ipod when I'm travelling. In ricks, planes, cars...anything. And, I love how it makes me feel. I don't have to listen to the traffic, the blaring of the vehicle horns, the yells, the crying. I'm lost in my own cocoon of imagination.

I can imagine scenarios as I want. A man standing in front of a shop could be arguing about the shopkeeper ripping him off... but to me, he's deciding what to take home for his baby daughter. I don't have to hear him screaming...I can see him violently gesturing because the shopkeeper just doesn't have something big enough for his lil sweetheart.

A woman sitting on the back of a cycle isn't complaining to her husband about not being in a car. She's reliving the times they had when they first met- when all they could afford was a bicycle.

A couple sitting in a delayed flight aren't mad that they'll never reach home. They're happy just being together and can't stop talking about it.

It's all an illusion- a world that will never be. Doesn't make a difference. When I've got my ipod playing music at its loudest, I can see the world at it's happiest. And, I can't help but let a smile slip by.
