The Soundtrack

I set it there this morning. Finally brought it to work as I have intended for a long time.

A square frame around a square image. The black of space. A turning wheel space station partially under construction. A sleek white shuttle rocket flying away.

I set it on my desk with a Strauss waltz running thru my head. It sat there quietly, and I forgot about it as the day ran on.

Cool! a friend said from the hallway in the afternoon.

He was looking in thru the door, looking at the new picture on my desk.

That's so cool!

I looked at him. He had a slightly puzzled look on his face.

Do you know what it is?

It's 2001.

Yes, but do you know what that is in the frame?

What do you mean?

That's the soundtrack. The album. My brother gave it to me for Christmas -- framed.

The album... You mean like a vinyl LP!? He held up his hands in the shape of a circle.

Yes.

That's so cool!
