Static annoys. Purity brings joys. Chances of clarity may increase with the application of elbow grease. I remember that fuzzy TV screen, and adjusting rabbit years (oldsters know what I mean). The Dodgers on the radio was bliss when I tuned out the crackle and hiss. Even a scientist, by noise, is drowned till he cleans his data, and finds truth, profound. Eva Cassidy sings a note so pure it penetrates the soul for sure. Love is not mysterious or obscure, When it's true, it's the heart's cure. The truth is what I want to hear. Tell me what's on your mind, my dear.
