Static

It seems revelation always come after a day where 

th’ failure to achieve equitable solutions leaves you 

a sour taste; then, in an unguarded moment, y’ see 

connections that take your breath into custody - at 

least leaving you room enough to negotiate while a 

storm over empty-teacups abates; returning reason 

swiftly intercedes ameliorating bruised senses - tho 

placating deflated egos may take a magnum or two 

We were trying t’ make radio-tuning easier’s  th’ ad- 

lib alibi, which fell well short and way shy o’ what’d 

be considered commonsense; but then that messy 

awakening bent the rules again - and in the interim, 

we are seeing whose culpability drifted off th’ track 

with assumptions lacking enough depth to obviate 

Th’ ‘running aground’ we’d just witnessed; and yet 

it isn’t the catastrophe we’d have expected t’ see - 

so, the static at back of this scheme doesn’t let up 

until you re-read small print on th’ devices you had

rearranged, & oops again, there’s the reason why - 

a fast charging plug th’ radio wont tolerate nearby
