This poem explores the numbing effects of media saturation and emotional detachment..

On TV




A child is crying
on TV
change the channel
my mind says
and I change it
a bomb wreaks a body
on TV
change the channel
my mind says
and I change it
two lovers are happy
on TV
in a black and white film
change the channel
my mind says
it is a mistake
happiness has gone
and I change it
the little child
still crying
