peaking out of the static
everyday waves of the 24 hour news cycle
the exhausting hum that crackles in your ear’s periphery.
the ancient cathode ray tube flickers from the mind-rubble
the black and white mosaic of foamy fetor…
a human woman’s face ( isn’t it? )
a message from off planet
perhaps a near future transmission
“al is not lost…..crackle……..hold on tight to a moment of friendship……crackle……..”
a homemade memorandum of love
a dispatch of hope
a blip of boisterous buoyancy
thank the heavens! it’s the much needed and long awaited manual of prosperity
we all have it in us
we can live well and not be a proxy for evil and horrors
we can choose
be light
be love
be alive
we are all human
we are all one

the dispatch repeats in all known formats
swirling through space
arcing past each habitable planet
jettisoning this message
jettisoning this message

horns to speak the truth loudly
drums to hold a danceable meter for the masses
bass to rattle the floor of static apathy and WAKE UP
keys to chime to finer details in the transient air around the core
and of course the omni-relatable and perfectly delivered
song of beauty

here for only a moment in time
with a message as warm as the sun itself
and so so needed
look up to the sky
it’s not too late

for fans of the late great Masekela, jah wobble, bow wow wow, benga, the Eurythmics, early Robert palmer, the pretenders the cure, even the go-go’s
