TV

Television is an odd thing.
Embracing a fictional reality
To escape your own.
Getting attached to characters that don't exist,
Hating others with a passion.
How many hours are spent
Living through the drama and events of a show or movie?
Until that drama starts to happen in your life.
When you become the main character or a
Complex and messy plot.
It's never as perfect in the end
As they make it out to be.
The resolution is more hurtful, more painful
In real life.
It involved sacrifice and blurry decisions and
Lots and lots of crying.
You forget about the false life for a bit
(My mother would say that's a good thing)
And you focus on your own life and
The end of your story.
The season finale that leaves everyone guessing.
End of Season 1.
The premier of the next will be aired
Another time, another day.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
