Aerial

Neutral as a wheel

it is not culpable

for what it picks up.

 

Shock jocks, phone-in

bigots, ministerial

lies and bleating celebs.

A cup cannot be blamed

for what fills it.

 

No judgment.

No fear of offence just

submission

to whatever is snatched

out of the air by

chameleon range

be it war, corruption,

famine, peace, tsunamis,

laughter, conferences,

anger or simply

a brilliant new tune

 

hooking you

from the depths.
