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.

ReplyDeleteHow 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.
