assuming mind as a radio

a chatterbox
filled with infinite thoughts

ears as tuners

one changes the station
the other controls the volume

if pain hits the body

ahhh!

the speaker reacts
depending on the intensity

break a heart

and the mouth
starts singing sad songs

everything the eyes consume
somehow enters the frequency

news
gossip
random nonsense

oh what?

they broke up?

i knew it

wait
he found someone else?

no way

this is insensitive

change the station

wait

what happened next?

the mouth blabbers
whatever the mind
keeps broadcasting

tune it
towards meditation

and suddenly

souls
silence
energy
awakening

spiritual stuff

might bore you
to the core

or leave you
quietly
at the shore

different people
different radios

some too loud

some barely heard

some looping
the same old song

again
and again

and to hear
my own frequency

i tuned into
my solitude

dropped my ego
and attitude

sat there
like a baby

accepting
my bare body

calm
and nude

then somewhere
inside the silence

a tiny crackle

what’s up dude?
