There's Nothing on TV, So...
An old poem I once forgot...
So I guess we’ll have to talk to each other
and think about what we
haven’t said
in such a long time.
*
Maybe we can listen to the radio
(nothing to see there).
We can switch frequencies
and see what is in the air.
*
Do you want to talk,
or read what’s in the news?
Do we need to write it down
and hope that we see something unsaid?
*
There’s nothing on TV
and we can’t stand the radio
playing and fading,
So we’ll talk and get our words
out and in our heads
(just like a real conversation;
just like ourselves again).

*
Thank you for reading!
