2 TVs
thank the peaceful
quiet
girl and dog
resting quietly
upon cushions
in the top rooms
me here
under lights
in the cellar pit
hum of CPU
one TV down here
mutely plays
world's going to Hell
any clarity of mind
must be precious
reckoning
renegade markings
of dust covered insanity
fueling vision
of innumerable
invisible mannequins
sequestered here
8 feet under
the earth
with me
in this carpeted clearing
a drywall abode
cool and dry
as these glass beings
these mannequins
plainly bearing
their enigmatic stripes
of madness, of forgiveness
attendant only
upon my need
to discern
now I hear
orchestral movie music
in the stairwell
another horrible TV show
loudly playing out
where my sleeping girl rests
pausing in typing
I turn emptily
to the mute TV
but there's still
some substance
even horrible TV shows
can't quite quell:
down here,
these implacable figures
do not care
