AM Radio

Fuzz and humm.

King Biscuit Flour Hour

Casey Kasem or Wolfman Jack delivering

the Saturday Night Special.

A rasp of air, call letters,

Needle drop, amplitude buzzes

In our ears, midnight fellowship

against dark blue skies.

The sound and voice of moonlight

unravelling along this long-winding road.

Tires hiss-hum in harmony,

plotting a route home. We stir

Under lightning crackle on AM Radio

Windshield wipers squawking.

The static sound between radio stations

Keeps us seaching tonight -

Wolfman Jack is silent.
