Development: Radio Studio

this cross marks a specific distance
from a microphone
sit here so the listeners can best pick out
the sound of your voice against
the background hum of space

looking at the cross one can hear the voices
issued from radio, through the atmosphere,
into space,
invisibly

to speak on radio is to summon up
an unknown audience from the aether

to perform in front of a blank screen
with only a pencil-thin microphone
and bulbous headphones
standing in for contact
