A
remote
broadcast
tower outside
New York City
Sends its message
out into the area.
Beyond the Orange mountains west of the city,
Thin night clouds settle
and the sun's rays can no longer hold
back the interference from the distant antennas.
Against nature, a family
labors to isolate the sound of the broadcast from the static.
Like so many others before them, they strain at the fine tuning knob of
their reciever.
Finally free, they hear and understand.
This recording is dedicated
to their struggle.
