KISSING THE DOT
KISSING THE DOT
Our new black & white
more full of snow than pictures
holding the rabbit's ears just so
(“No...no...no...YES! ! ! ! ! ! !”)
holding it aloft like 9 year old Statue of Liberty
watching with fascination as I DREAM OF JEANIE
emerges
to our chorused 'ooooOOOOO! '
Even turning it off was a thrill
the little white dot dwindling to an infinity
the electric static tingling our lips
as we kissed it goodbye
. . .a pleasurable pain.
Now, after the bus crash
lost in staticky snow
I turn the set
on off onoff
watch the little white dot
die again and again
place my lips
against the fading screen
the electric kiss
of death.
