The Companions
The Tv is my constant companion and so
is my CD Player.
I view pre-recorded programs.
Find new programming to watch.
Change between certain channels.
Get caught up in Love-Hate
sequences. Comedy - Laughter too.
Rarely watch Sci-fi. Watch the days
events - news. Compare actual events
with TV programs. What is reality and
what is fiction? Is there a line between
them?
Then, I listen to my CD-player. Music
I love to hear. Does it sound the same
as my TV? Can TV make the same
sound between what I see and what
I hear? And, what I imagine I hear and see?
Both are entertaining.
Which one do I love more?
Which one is the better choice?
Which one calms me most?
Which has more to offer?
Can I choose between them?
It's like choosing between two
best friends. Both have good
and bad qualities, yet I
can't distinguish between them
for I love them both.
Why separate them?
Enjoy each for their own sake.
Enjoy each for my sake.
For they are my companions you see.
