K.F.E.Q.
jeff foster
I work the graveyard
at a country music station
mostly twelve hour shifts
lots of black coffee and mountain dew
caffeine like amphetamine
rush of my old addiction
Long nights babysitting satellite
this is a partially automated station
reading, writing poetry, readying submissions
rituals at the candy machine
ogling the bikini calendar
in one of the sales department cubicles
I monitor the computers
hit the news at the top of each hour
take transmitter readings
test the ebbs
and watch the weather menstruate
by radar and gage
