- On The Air
-
- Fiction by HC

-
- Last night I was on the radio. In the darkest hour, right before dawn I was
- tuned to a local college radio station. I couldn't get to sleep, so I just
- listened to the radio. The DJ's and guests were pretty cool, so I called the
- station up. I was on the air immediately and started talking with the
- people in the studio. After a few minutes of this I ask one of the guests on
- the show, Casey, about the poem she said she would read. It's called "Hands"
- and is about how people don't realize the power and beauty that the hands
- possess.
- Everyone says they like it, then I say, "I have a philosophical
- question. Is it better to talk about nothing, or not to talk at all?"
- One of the girls says it is better to talk about nothing because it will
- eventually lead somewhere.
- They start asking me questions and the other girl, Megan I think, asks
- me what type of person I was, what social group I fit into.
- Was I a jock, a preppie, a skater, or what? I say I'm not any of those, and
- that I don't fit in.
- "Do you have any facial piercings, what color is your hair?"
- I think that's the DJ.
- "It's not the way I look. I just don't fit in at all." Me
- "You should try getting involved, participate in school activities."
- One of the girls.
- "Yeah, do wrestling or something. What are you good at?"
- "I can write," I say.
- "What do you write, poetry or prose?" the DJ
- "Prose," I say.
-
- They try to get me to read something on the air, but I don't have
- anything to read, and I sure as hell wouldn't read to these people anyway.
- The DJ asks me what I write about, and I say "the bullshit system."
- The DJ, rather quickly: "OK that's great. We've enjoyed having you on
- the air. Thanks and keep listening to..."
-
- I'm off the air before I get chance to say bye, or whatever you say when you
- go off air.
- I smoke another cigarette and go to bed.
