Channels

Turn the channel
Click click static burns
Ghosts tumble through, lost voices echo 
Old channels Humm
Something upon the airwaves
Messages from afar
Drifting through nights 
Echoing voices forever in time
Turn the channel 
Images swim
Faces blur 
Something comes in
Click click faces dance
Something stumbles ghostly and old
Airwaves fold and sound mumble and buzz
Change the waves
Ghosts scream old echoes 
Channels lost and forgotten 
Humming upon open channels, ancient
Forgotten, drifting, static burns into the neon night
Forgotten faces leave traces
After images of the past 
Turn the channel
Click click something hums
Echoes turn 
Something burns
