Rating: 2.7


“Ooooh! ”
“Ooooh! ”

Radio singing to
itself continuously

though there is
no one

to listen
except some

coffee cups
(one overturned)

& some soggy
Tiramisu.

The radio sings
supremely

unable to control
itself.

Meanwhile
halfway across town

& just
(in time)

...baby is
born.

“My baby love...
...my baby love! ”

The radio sings
to anyone

who will listen.

:) : 'He who has ears to hear, let him hear! ' (Matthew 11: 15) Let me listen... Great piece in the silence of the morning...
