Salute to TV

Aloha!



"Beauty triumphs over the suffering inherent in life."

~Nietzsche








"It is an interesting question


how far men would retain their


relative rank

if they were divested of their clothes."



~Henry David Thoreau







"No one can earn a million dollars honestly."


- William Jennings Bryan

Salute to TV



Vicarious adventure

on my screen

this is really much deeper

than it seems.


Procedure and science

mixed with screams

exposing (inviting?)

dark, dark dreams.



Entertainment

that rules the night

washing us in the flickers

of your light

I wish I may

I wish I might

awake from the dream

where you've wrapped me so tight.

How nice to meet the "writing-artist" of yours. As I spend sometimes more money on tea than for clothes, the quote was surely interesting. Please have a good Tuesday.

Satellite TV has killed the television for me. I don't know how to make it go anymore. I am a girl lost in the 70s and remembering those dreams of which you speak, though. Love the poem.

That must be why I am not rich (in money): I am too honest.

Hi Cloudia!
that first picture with those beautiful puffy clouds is so happy. Hope you are enjoying your summer in paradise. We are starting a heat wave here in cali, a little roasty but still enjoying our life on this coast.
