21st Century TV Zeitgeist

Light-emitting diode screens
colorful images with sound that screams
or lulls the passionately roving thumb and remote
that quite blinds, hour upon wasted hour,
or just footage of someone’s cat
and its imaginary crown.

Quickly,
spit out this hopefully humorous vision
of yourself, or our collective selves,
before it becomes our only view –
too late.
