Death of Radio

Flipping through the stations

like a radio telescope 

looking for some distant

alien 

noise.

The alien noise is here!

Wrapped in Taylor Swift,

Mouseketeer teen angst, 

or the next American Idol.

Gone are the days

of walking this way,

slow rides in Kashmir

all the while getting

no satisfaction.

Feeling pretty vacant

I look for a free ride

while everyday 

I write the book.

Oh well, 

Pandora it is....
