Radio
I drive aroun'
in a bad part of town
I look for the broken:
men living low
women falling behind
hearts beating alone under a baleful moon
drowned in alcohol spirits they cling somehow,
to life with wooden desires
My window down
I save them with an old car radio

This one is nice. I like the phrase "hearts beating alone under a baleful moon". Makes you really think of how much they need, how much they don't have. How privledged we are.
