Tuning  Out

Trying to tune in a station
on an old alarm clock radio
voices and static
far away sounding songs
nothing clear,
I grabbed the old clock radio
pulled it hard ripping the cord
from the wall and I smashed it on
the floor. Now it's in pieces and silent
I just stare at the small wreckage and
ponder why I broke it, why it's laying
on the floor and why
I'm gonna leave it there broken in all
of its shame, I casually walk away
knowing it's because I wanted to.
