TV Poem
Listen to this articleTV Poem
political dishwater thrown
from the TV
all of us
covered with debris
smelling
of someone else’s point of view
I’d take my shoe to the screen
but I want to see NCIS I guess
get a little rest
from political debate, reality TV
So you think you can accuse?
Yes, with a shoe
Congress bickering
What’s on Misdirect the People TV?
Who is enabled on cable?
Okay, my mind’s disordered
climbing all over itself
like 5 minutes of 30 second commercials
no wonder people ask if Vienna is in
Australia
or is Africa a theme park?
Are starving people real?
Is God really good?
Can I change the channel?
