Vintage Vindication

I am watching the t.v. show Growing Pains and it brings tears to my eyes. I think of the things my grandchildren watch. Less variety was more. We had worthwhile lessons in a half-hour program. Today there is so much worldly noise. VINTAGE VINDICATION cataclysmic dust lands on the flat screen our kids count each particle in wonderment vintage past in crematorium ashes new shows blast silliness no lectures minds bounce up and down on bouncy balls no matter! hand-held gadgets and earplugs inhabit their stratosphere…their precipice, high places gather all clueless moms and doofus dads and a range of worldly friends, for a few laughs light sprays out of the humongous screen with blinding fury, ties a bandana over eyes bags and gags common sense and loving hugs now we had some laughs in the blast of the past but we learned lessons too. vintage vindication – that’s what i seek. harmony with loving hugs.

You are so right Kim, these shows had more depth and breadth than the silly nonsensical slush available nowadays . . . but you know, the worst is perhaps the 'earplug' isolation that comes with the not so smartphone territory. I loved your poem:) 7 Amitiés
