T.V. kills
your mind
with its slow-drip
acid I.V.
through MTV
tubes burning through
your
PBS filter
destroying your
parental guidelines
and
your liver.
Like alcohol
poisoning
makes you
stutter
bull****
to the tune of the
Cheers theme
"Sometimes you wanna
go
where everybody knows your
name"
and the game is on.
T.V. strips you
of your
virginity
and skin
crawling around the
corridors
of your HBO mind
until the
Dukes of Hazzard
have a shootout
with your neural
impulses.
And how often
do the Dukes
lose?
T.V. takes you out
and gets its loving from
date rape
convincing you it
loves you
then robbing your
purse and
soul
as it shoots
information semen
into your eyes
burning you
blind.
Is that a gift?
T.V. stares out of the
window
waiting for class to
end
so he can find you
kiss you
take you home
turn on soap operas
then suck the
brains
through your
ears
saying he loves
you.
And as you
lie there
with your
new lobotomy
you experience
your first
orgasm
as the
M*A*S*H unit
jokes with
Trapper John M.D.
because you
believed that
T.V. could solve
your problems.

brains
through your
ears"
