I've been listening to static for years. Watching the black-and-white zigzags Crumple across my screen Defeated, without knowing the enemy. Overwhelmed, without taking perspective. Suddenly pictures are coming through Sounds that don't just seem to be dying aluminum. Laughs smiles conversations Touches... Gasps. Heartbeats. Those black and white zigzags are fading Blurring out until you see the picture They've been trying to form for too long. And behold, the picture is clear. Maybe the repairman upgraded me to hi-def. But that repairman sure is sneaky. Apparently the channel is now set on Cinemax And I have no idea where my remote is.
