the tube

press the button
it seems as though it's calling your name
press the button

you do

a second world is created within seconds
interrupted by a dog bark
but soon your back

controlling what you want to see
hear

controlling what's brainwashing you
still you watch

the room filled with light
flash
flash
flash

you land on something you like
for the next 20 minutes you are taken into a second world
the world you control at your fingertips

you sit eyes glued on the screen
on the seat of your chair
you laugh
you are shocked
you like it

a lot

the dog barks again
brings you back to earth
you look hes eating something he shouldn't

hes full of undying love
compassion
care

you wish your sitcom would last longer than 30 minutes
it doesn't
just like it doesn't love
care
or take you into consideration

turn it off and play with the dog
you'll be happy
he'll be happy

press the button
I'm telling you
press the button

black screen

happiness
