Daytime T.V.

Relish the irregular supper-man,
Superman, stupor-man.
Involve yourself in mid-20th century
Cigar and Bogart lighting
Watch the black
And white
On the afternoon airwaves.

Oscillate around
Dusty studio sets of L.A.-dom.
Finger the rivets
Of the bras
That knew only Joe,
Senator McCarthy,
Father knows bestologist
Of the twilight zone.

Offer highway patrols,
Columbia drug analogies
Which point to a zeitgeist
Of Reagan movies
And racist fishbowl
Community bores.
Hide from this day.
