Poem
Is this how my TV feels every time it shows a screen full of static? Out of sorts, unable to comprehend the signals coming in; or maybe the lack of it? Does it feel frustrated when a supposedly knowing hand yanks out the power cable and fixes it back in, in the hope that a reset would turn the static to fluid pictures? Does it get angered when ignorant hands pick up the remote control and flip from channel to channel, willing it to show something other than static? Does it fume? Does it roll it’s eyes when over eager hands ‘pat’ it not so gently to see if it will make the thing on the screen change? Does it cringe at their touch? Does it feel pain when the pats are rough or hard? Does it smile when a sensitive user picks up the remote control and thinks to tune and search for the right signal? Does it rejoice when the black and white dancing dots give way to a shaky picture? To the beginning of something clear? Does its heart fall in disappointment when the picture is still shaky, dancing from the bottom to the top of the screen with multiple lines running through and the user stops tuning and leaves? Is it able to trust when finally a user with the patience to follow through comes along and tunes until the picture is clear and the audio is right too? I wonder if these are the things my TV feels when all there is is static, and if it is then I guess I’m not much different from my TV. p.s check out my blog for more stuff from me :) www.jaymarensworld.wordpress.com
