24| [The radio is screaming the man][]
25| on the radio will not be quiet he is
26| pushed far into the background
27| while some NPR talkers murmur over
28| his screaming he lost something
29| very important. He says it over
30| and over but they do not listen
31| they think of their children at home
32| lying [in bed][] dreaming sweet
33| childhood one of them is staying over
34| at a friend's house they are staying
35| up late they never want it to be over
36| not like the man. His life on the radio
37| will be the only one he ever has
38| his life it is wasted he's being spoken over
39| such pain is in his voice. I wish you
40| could hear it. [It's something never over][].
41| Suffering everywhere always and over it
42| the same serene murmur of the comfortable
43| distracted or worse looking over
44| the [shoulder][] and quietly looking away.
