Television Daze

late at night
i was usually
asleep but

every now
and again
i'd see it

after they
played the
national

anthem
while an
on screen

flag would
be slowly
waving

it
would
happen

even though
i grew up 
with a

color
tv set
what

you'd get
that late
on late

time was
noise that
was white
