remembering in black and white
tv in the fifties altering weekend rituals
one set in the neighbourhood
streetboys sitting around the famous indian head
for their fill of saturday morning cartoons
sci-fi flash gordon and i love lucy
allowed to stay up on sunday nights
to watch the old ed sullivan show
always one appointed volunteer
to get up and change the channel or adjust the volume
another to finetune the rabbit ears
to fix reception and remedy the dreaded snow
