| Serious Radio |
Usually I’m up before the alarm goes off, the radio starts sermonizing. I’ve wandered downstairs and am drinking a drowsy half-cup of coffee before NPR has begun its morning plaint, the teacher that demands complete attention from her classroom because she knows what she’s talking about, you don’t. So, “just shut up and listen.” So you shut up, look out the window, try to think of other things, swallow the gorge that keeps rising into the back of your mouth.
Only much later do you find out that she didn’t know: she just loved listening to her voice thinking it must.
