Ramble In Airwaves .

     
     
Dumped the television   
only six months      
back    
It was filling my mind    
with scripts    
that should be      
on the junk heap    
in debris    
     
I stroll into work      
every morning    
filling my throat with caffeine    
listening    
to the office      
chatter    
In wonder
of something new    
to converse about    
     
Alas that’s wishful thinking    
     
Seems the IQ in this place    
spans as far as    
Dexter    
The humour is as ripe      
as Two and Half Men    
and they’re lead to believe    
CSI is a true story    
     
I imagine
the evening routine  
includes    
slapping any thought of  
an ingredient
on a plate    
They’re probably lucky if it’s    
cooked      
Fall to the room, with the view    
discuss nothing    
while they watch some      
overpaid    
overfed    
nobody    
tell them  
how they should have    
manufactured it    
     
I wonder if they've  
realised    
their kids have grown    
or if they're still communicating    
in words like    
“gaga”    
     
while hours that mount to days    
are spent    
feeding    
minds    
with a digital delay    
and little of value to say
