Radio Head
by Joel L Young → (All Poetry by Joel L Young)

He's not a bad fellow
he just has a radio in his head.

He listens to the moon man
and his ghosts, telling him what to do
standing on a street corner
watching all the girls and guys go by.

Somewhere in his dreams, a scientist
is analyzing algorithms with a slide rule
juxtaposing sensibility for madness.

He's not crazy just misconstrue d
doctors think otherwise.
Mysterious is it not? All poets have radio heads.

We're all right. We're all right, but not him.

He's the example boy.
He's the example boy.

I bet you have a radio head. Don't you?

It's okay. It's okay.
My radio is a multiband frequencer.

How about yours?

An offbeat look at mental health, admittedly not a comfortable subject, but all people listen to radio in their heads? Vive la Sanity for all.. :)

Love this one! This would make a great alternative rock song. Now back to the radio tunes in my head. Dawn

I like the off-beat approach to this subject and giggled at the poem as I tuned the knob on my own radio-head. ;) Janet
