The static screams from the radio
scratching to get out
The words try to get through
but just get lost in the storm
You turn the radio
less static
but you still can't hear
You pull the antenna
out farther
but it doesn't help
The words you're trying to hear
are still lost
The person saying them
thinks you can hear
thinks they are helping you
but they aren't
You finally change the channel
and watch the game on T.V.

I really like the amount of detail you put into this poem. It's just a normal, mundane moment but with verbs like "screams" you give the poem more power. The reader can put themselves in the situation and understand the frustration.
Keep up the great work
