Radio Days
The shock waves came first
Like crushing blows
A moment played before my eyes
Like special effects
As sound waves washed over me in yowls
Soundlessly slipping
Mumbling sotto voce
Falling into void
Days painted in oblivion
Then came the soulful days
The everlasting radio days
Soul music, no sinew
Soliloquy
Seeing from a telescope
Hearing from a distance
A body with half a soul
