I saw the TV glow too.

I didn’t have anyone to watch it with.

Maybe about five or six years ago,

I watched it.

It was sinking me,

it’s still sinking me.

My skin feels off,

the whole world feels off.

Everybody’s on my nerves-

-they’d say;

“what happened to you?”

and

“why are you like this?”

I’ve tried to unplug the TV,

but it burns me

when I change the channel

or when I try to pull the plug.

It was my favorite show-

-it still is.

But now I ask;

was it my favorite show

because it was the only option…

or

…was it because it felt better

than the other option?
