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