Tune in, drop out

A media poem

Transmitting       continuously
     a pirate                   station,
jammed by                     overpowering neighbors,
     obnoxious                  broadcasters,
but the signal             faintly persists —
     stronger when      you are near.

With                 fine          adjustments
    you              focus        your attention,
sinusoidal                      waves
   resonate     through      your antenna —
you                   hear           yourself,
    as the          noise           fades away.

This was the original, “wavy” version. Below is the traditional formatted version. I wondered if the wavy version would work, I didn’t feel super convinced but thought, hey why not go for it.

Which resonates more with you?

Transmitting continuously
     a pirate station,
jammed by overpowering neighbors,
     obnoxious broadcasters,
but the signal faintly persists —
     stronger when you are near.

With fine adjustments
    you focus your attention,
sinusoidal waves
   resonate through your antenna —
you hear yourself,
    as the noise fades away.
