Rudolph Rinaldi Poet Free verse

I Sit In Front of the Tv Screen

I SIT IN FRONT 
OF THE TV SCREEN
WATCHING NOTHINGNESS 
THAT APPEARS TO BE  REAL

TO 
APPEAL
TO 
THE VIEWER’S VISCERAL FEEL

BUT IN REALITY
NO MORE REAL 
THAN THE BARKERS SPIEL 
OR THE SALESMAN'S DEAL

WATCH OUT 
ON THE WORLD’S TV SCREEN 
FOR THE SALESMAN ‘S STEAL 
AND THEIR PROMISE TO HEAL

TIGHTEN REAL TIGHT  YOUR RESOLVE 
AND BE READY TO CLOSE OFF
THE FOLLOW UP 
ATTEMPT TO BE HAD
