Television

What television can do to you if you're not careful.

I press [ON].
The screen flashes to life,
a window to delusions
of reality.

I turn up the volume,
letting emptiness flow
through my veins,
entranced by dizzying visions.

Getting high
off of infinite images
pulsating through
the 27-inch portal,
infecting the cells
of my very soul.

Melodrama,animation,
explosions, extreme makeovers,
shark attacks, sitcoms, commercials
My God it's all...too...MUCH!

Click. [OFF].
Ah, much better.
