Review of Stick Poke Scrape Dump

This is an unusual torrent of words, at once gentle and sharp. It very much needs a live, one-sentence intro saying it's a poetic description of this job that the producer/reader vividly (and passionately!) recalls from his youth - this mature, mellow, radio-sounding voice does not sound the voice of a person in this situation - but if you can place the scene, it's good to go, and would work nicely for any station wanting to observe April with poetry - and do! do! Poetic writing especially for the radio is so precious!
