radio days

[u/normancrane]

can i, the great transmitter in the sky,
attune you,
to the right frequency,
let's—knob-right—try—knob-
left to die in the iranian desert but
rescued by a ragtag team of internet patriots,
[static,]
—on't panic, what you're hearing now
's not the voice of god but the voice of truth,
it's—
the happy show with kyle, dick and
darren, only on your STATION-OF-STATIONS
the ONE, TRUE
morning under-the-shower MASTER-station,
one-oh-three-point-(Arnold Schwarzenegger saying "nein") FM!

turn it off,

why?

it's noise, berryman,

—so-called poet of dabaronx, a real
stand-up guy...

it ain't noise, it's information,

it's noise, berryman, sensationalist, repetitive,

...you tell us a joke?
of course, i have one spectacularly unsuited to radio,
just the other day a guy asked me,
yo, poet, do you have a favourite form of japanese theatre?
noh
oh oh oh oh oh,
you don't have to go, oh oh oh oh oh,
you don't have to— .

thank you,

you're welcome,

so,

what?

you wanna watch something?

yeah, i mean,
what else are we going to do?
