The radio announcer’s tone of voice
is cold, dreary, and muffled
I think his shirt is unbuttoned
and the floor fan speed is high
The playlist is chill:
rap and syrupy pop music
I unbutton my shirt
and creep up closer to the radio.

A lovely Quadrille. Moving closer to the radio ~ the sound. Cannot estimate how many times I may have done just that, still do. ** the images in my poem are from a decorating website, wish I had a room or two that looked like these.
