and unaware so has everyone,

Slipping gently towards entropy,
Ownership with an apostrophe.
Braid the loose frays of sanity
Till something true finally answers me.

Troops are marching over many lands,
Tagged cornflower blue--a worldwide brand.
Don't speak out or you will be banned,
Towers implode just...

one day I looked away, then looked back, so...

Watching old black & white movies
On a widescreen, HD-TV,

Beyond the porch’s open window,
Igniting my senses to reflect about
Bygone days like one long replay

Nestled in his recliner,
His body oozes into the grooves, 
Filling up every nook, every cranny
Until a synergistic union of man and
La-Z-Boy is achieved.  
His eyes are unreceptive, half closed watching his
High definition plasma widescreen;
