Hey Paul,
Thank you for the thorough explanation of your poem. I really enjoyed reading it as it made me appreciate the poem a lot more. It also confirmed what I already suspected, that you had put a lot of thought into this work. I have seen other surreal poems often just explained as being beyond explanation, which always seemed to me to be a bit of a cheap way to explain away the nonsense. As abstract as your poem is, I would definitely never classify it as nonsense. Based on your explanation though, I do have one suggestion. The way you explained line 3 makes me want an entire poem just about that radio broadcast. I feel like some of the feelings and thoughts you had in this poem could easily be explored in a poem about that.
I look forward to reading more from you,
Richard
