I am watching you as you unknowingly watch me for hours. the only exercise you experience is the blinking of your eyelids over your continuous staring. I watch. My eyes on the your heartbeat thumping in your chest. your mouth dangled half open with the beginnings of saliva drooling into a pool on the corners of your mouth before swelling full enough to seep over and fall onto your rotund stomach clothed in a worn-too-thin black tshirt complete with cheese puff dust and gravy and mustard stains.
I watch.
I see.
I do my job.
I herd the cattle in front of me. I control the directions that they go to eat, to sleep, to think and feel; I excite them or I depress them.
I control the cattle.
I control you.
I am your television.
And There is no turning me off.
