The radio in my jeep cuts out after count 6 of 8
Silence lingers for a two-count, sometimes two and a half and
Then the song, dj, conversation, advertisement fills the air

I’m left to piece the melody, lyrics, or conversation snippets myself
and I can’t help but notice how this mirrors the way I move through daily interactions

I’m just a broken radio hoping that someone knows the lyrics to finish the song I struggle to play.
