A movie and at the end an older American sitcom.
Movies are boring. It's like watching paint dry...

TURNING OFF THE GHOST
what’s up with the ghost
who boringly stares
through two holes in a sheet
he watches
her every mistake
slow and agonizingly
she gobbles up a pie
her fork stabbing it
we don’t know
if it’s savory or sweet
it goes on and on
like a crazed murderer
then she spews
thankfully running first
from floor
to toilet seat
and still, very still
the proverbial ghost
in his long white sheet
silently watches
the best part
is when he slowly slowly
strolls to the window
and across the way
spies another “sheet”
they lift up a cloth paw
to acknowledge one another
this movie was listed as horror
i turned it off
it was a horror
i turned on “Good Times.”
