you keep me awake
eroding desire for learned things
the aching reality seeps
into the dinner i’ve yet learned
how to cook
TV,
numb the onset of a depression
bound to break me
as it already has to my family
a family intoxicated,
sitting staring submissive
to your sermon, the rippling pool
of sounds too stale to in and
exhale
I watch you indoctrinate
placid as a vegetable
like a euthanized dog
falling asleep I slide into
senselessnessbliss
…
oh
finally
my favorite show
the travel one I seldom see
take me to the places
I long for so much
