Genius Junior
They have the small radio on. The faraway note echoes; the ringing gleam
of the guitar-bass-drums carries over the maps. Shadows cast on the acres
of fertile pop fields. The band can be glimpsed in the jittery limelight
of the radio in flames, frugally reconstituting the endless tip-toeing of
littered beats.
Elbowing the scene, genius, like pop, pulls crazily upstream. The gestures
of the economical note. Stepping on to the weaving road, remembering where
they landed and certain that even Einstein left the past behind. And that
road is filled with siren-drunk sailors, fresh from the streaming fields,
whose crafts capsized on the shoals of recast radio. Now simply riding the
wake of the band as they duck and swirl, playing down the road, to the
well of smiling hits.
