Television
Television vomits privacies
nauseous they are to me
but fans, parents, money-makers
swallow them with no shame
Television show men delete men
boiled hearts they carry all the way
tricksters show mongoose-ness
society the chicken they snatch
Television narrates impossible tales
that humans are gods in action
Believe and try what you see
your heart and body bid you farewell
Television lies and hides that it educates
yet youth are fields for hay. I say nay
