Songwriter Wednesday: "Time Machine"

Have you ever wished that you had a time machine to be wherever you wanted to be in the blink of an eye?

No more 80-mile drives to a far distant place just to get into the things that your heart says yes to but your energy says, maybe another time. Instead, you could just climb into a contraption, press a few buttons, and boom, you are there.

You wouldn’t have to rely on airlines and hope that their staff doesn’t all get sick that day. You do not have to sit in rush hour traffic hoping that whatever mess is before you on the journey home will clear up. No more wishing to go back in time to revisit a person or to relive a moment. You could just climb into the time machine and Bam.  

That is what I was thinking about when I wrote the song “Time Machine.” After a long work week, I want to be like the road runner and zoom home in a flash. I wish I had a “Time Machine” to be where I want to be and to do what I want to do when I want to do it.

If you could relate to any of this, please check out my song “Time Machine.”

Lake Street Station

by Stephanie Jeannot

Weekday vibes in the midst of the rush

Through the CTA Station, music sprinkling down on us

A guy spitting bars on the crowded platform

Over an ocean wave of bass thumps satiating the core

You could hear the refreshing sound of the buskers blazing

I pulled my phone out to take a cameo of their sound exchanging

I caught the fever and all I wanted to do was sing along with them

And so, while the rapper spat, I hummed and started ad-libbing

We vibed until the El came chugging into the station

I almost didn’t want to board because I was really feeling ‘em

It was a scene that reminded me of NYC, making me feel like I was home

Something else to add to the love of Chicago, from these experiences that I own

__________________________________________________________________________________

The poem was based on my explorations of Chicago via the CTA; perfect for Poetry Tuesday. 

Every time I am in Chicago, riding the El is on my bucket list of things I want to do
and so, I do it and I always end up seeing something else that fascinates my eyes.

Also, while here on my downtime, I am experimenting using various apps to complete short video editing projects.
