I hope the "sleep" function is working
You have fallen asleep with the radio on.
Electromagnetic waves push inanities
into air that should at this time be only for breathing.

Hero
Once-upon-a-time, a barman worshipped the Sun.
Worked nights so didn’t see much of it
but in his head he’d got stories of
the Fire God supreme,
Blaze Lord,
vanquishing monsters who'd eat out your dreams.
He called the Sun ‘Hero’,
