AM/FM

The broadcasting is loud

 

So loud in the crowd 

that I fell into position 

where drum pummeled pain

met sleep deprived brains

and the dance kept me up for hours,

 

In that same symphony we collide

to the higher powers 

pulling string and tendon 

to start the engine

and the machinery is greased clean

in this mean double standard

 

I heard it like footsteps at first

trailing behind me

but it evolved into some malicious noise

the kind when one becomes a pack of boys

and the new kid is fucked for sure

 

It's chirping left the mind to wander

in and out 

twisting about

and around it itself

or without itself,

but always never in a place

to completely 

override it,

The sound survived

and the mind left alone 

had no choice but to hide

 

Why hide it?

I'll bullhorn it

so you can sample its insanity

but if enough can be taken by its snare

then even this

can seem normal 

dressed thread bare

to the lunatic formal,

We amass until the sound 

is our escape
