Saturday 9th March

BIRDSONG & RADIO: 
 
Birdsong underscores the early mist, I smile, a gift.
Two radios for the mood of an early head, click, listen
to the tone, the poetry of the morning news & choose. 
Most days 5Live is my station of choice, the upbeat 
rhythm of the voice, informed, personal, like street 
voice rhythms. I like the hiss of the AM wrapped around
them, reminding me of good times in the car with Dad.
The FM sounds like a funeral, bad news obsession, 
direct injection into the rhythm of a nation, it makes 
me afraid. I listen to the FM for a beat, turn it off 
till later when the groove is inviting, turn on the AM 
& feel the spirit rise.
