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).

Truth?

*
