TV Screens

TV Screens
TV screens bore the shit out of me
But make believe can keep my attention
For so many hours like the screens behind
The dark side of my eyelids
We move like ants, down drains we drain ourselves
All in a row, on TV screens we dance
And we must ask, why in our sleep we speak aloud?
Why in our sleep we speak aloud?
Happy family aquarium
The glow from the set to keep us warm
A life in channels flickers by
For the urban fireflies
