to get outta the hell of here... I've never heard it said quite like that before, but I like it. Turn up the radio, sister!
ReplyDeleteWell said. Radio-pleasure therapy is great! I love listening to the radio when I'm in the car.
ReplyDeleteAh, radio therapy! Readily available if we remember to turn it on. And then there is ipod therapy, great with earphones which also act as earplugs .... Great desperation in this poem, and the possibility of relief.
ReplyDeleteWow, well said, Marian.

Ha! My Radio therapy is listening to the news of the day while I clean house. But when I was a kid, radio was Magic!
ReplyDelete.. outta the hell of here ~~ love it!!
ReplyDeleteI had a basement bedroom, so I know every bit of this poem. "I need to get outta the hell of here," amazing turn of phrase. This is a winner.
ReplyDeleteToo bad I don't listen to more music on the radio. Most of it is leftie talk shows, and once a week I swallow hard and see what Rush is up to. Want to hear from both extremes and make up my own mind.
Peace, and thanks! Amy
God. Bless. The. Radio!

ReplyDeletethis piece is like that moment where you find the break in the static on the radio for just a second and the song comes through clearly for a minute until you drive into the next town and it's gone again. :) x
