Color Television

in the basement is your first color television known for its recurring static and bent antenna and broken VCR extraterrestrials climb in through the high window that doesn't open but they've been here for thousands of years they were the storks that delivered humans during the time there was a gap in hominids between neanderthals and us they know why the antimatter and matter don't cancel each other out they're responsible for the Easter Island rock statues for the hieroglyphs of machines and aircraft and suddenly your color television jolts on to live news of 1939
