NICK BRUNO - Disassembling Marconi

Prosopagnosia

Blinding a nation: Who does this to us, to the little people, the base, on which the speaker, the chosen one, invokes the sins of his own doing to inscribe them on the backs of those less innately devious, and drive them from the flock?

Who throws the dust in the eyes of the many, weeping for relief and for the want of something truly to behold?

We cannot see our executioners until they have faces.

Knox - 220

Disassembling Marconi

I hear Mariachi static on my radio And the tubes they glow in the dark Warren Zevon

At five I took to disassembling radios to find the spot within, that sparked metallic voice into song – the component whose musical repertoire made my sisters spring into dance on a makeshift stage with rag curtains.
