TV

      TV
      Multifarious on the miniature screen
      the tiny greyish teardrops trickle
      out of sympathy; out of luck
5     they land in a ponderous conflagration
      like butane-drenched strange paratroopers
      invading every eye. they only come
      to liberate the lusterless, glitterfy the gone,
      unwanted melodies curled uptight asleep
10    in moldiest mind.  Melodramatic
      the chromatic tube revivifies its display.
      All the misconceptions of real-life rant
      in flesh-tone undeniability.  The biggest baritone
      saunters to his place, steps upwards
15    at the Met, decked in best brightest tent array,
      to sing until his face dissolves to truth.
