Bits of speech sparkle
Public radio debris
“It’s okay if you’re still a bit hung up on that”
Swish-swish-snap
And a country song starts playing
Your hand keeps turning the little knob
Further and further, the white line speeds past DJs you might have met
Looking for the semisweet aftertaste of the song you heard last night, overplayed
In the crowds
At the party
Or the sickly smell
In the bathroom
Maybe on the Pavement
Blasting from a loudspeaker
Overheard, forgotten,
And slipping down the wet storm drain
“Where were you last night”
-break for an advertisement-
It’s all a mess anyway
Better leave it in the static
Swish-swish-click
Un-sort-it

I like the idea of speech sparkling. You're doing really interesting things with sensory perceptions, with all the auditory and olfactory imagery.
