The Great Cable Guy in the Sky

Cattle grazed in lava fields,

they're hooves did not burn.

Nor did the weeds, that grew sporadically.

I watched the magma churn.

A haunted mansion

where cricket men reside.

Windows made of diamonds

should I run and hide?

I felt I was invited

but no one was home.

All I heard were crickets,

Was I all alone?

"CLICK!"-The suspense channel

A blond-haired woman took my temperature

using long, thin wooden sticks.

They made pain upon contact,

I dared to defy her acupuncture tricks.

She looked at me with villainous eyes,

yet seemed quite concerned.

I waited for her next move,

but instead, the channel turned.

"CLICK!" -The Lucky channel

I'm at a buffet with friends,

waiting for a meeting.

We find money under our chairs

in the awkwardly arranged seating.

I met a celebrity on the beach,

you know them very well.

I never got the job interview,

But had a great time watching the swells.

"CLICK!" -The Family Channel

I run into my mother walking down a street.

We tightly hug, our demeanor was discrete.

She covers me with a cloak, a peephole was inside.

She swiftly walked away. I went along for the ride.

"CLICK!" The Bizarre Channel

Godzilla saw me through the window where I stood,

There was no denying our eye contact.

He continued destroying the neighborhood,

I wondered if I too would be attacked.

The room shook, the earth quaked!

Leaving that house would've been a mistake!

I thought about life and what was at stake.

Didn't know until now, it all was fake.

"CLICK!" -The Drama channel

My sister brings out anger in me,

I don't think she wanted my company.

Confusion sets in, she gets angry too,

To the both of us, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo.

"CLICK!" -The Travel Channel

I lay down on the bed and fell twenty feet to the ground.

I made a soft landing, that didn't make any sound.

I'm in a familiar place, the houses are the same.

I knew everything about them, but I didn't know my name.

I ran as fast as I could to a playground nearby.

I never ever reached it. For a moment, I felt very high.

and wondered why...

"CLICK!" -The Nat-Geo channel

Swimming with animals down a long narrow river.

The water is cold and clear, but I did not quiver.

I couldn't identify them with something I knew.

I could breathe under water, just like them too.

I wanted to stay but saw a giant water slide.

It was yet another illusion. I was very dissatisfied.

The remote clicks no more

I wake up and review the many things I saw and touched.

The emotions grabbed me, the sensations, abrupt.

There is more to this odd story that I can't recall.

It was truly a whirlwind of adventure. And yes, my friend, that's all...

The TV shuts off until another day...
