Day Off / That Perfect Mix by Chris Sorrenti
Day Off

That Perfect Mix
been going on for years
an odd assortment
of one hit wonders
classic tunes
laying down tracks
to move a soul
no matter the occasion

a lineage of decks
always at the ready
each new cassette
one step closer
in the process
dubbing combinations
proven by taste and time
except for a song
out of place
here and there
striving for that
perfect mix
