Television Eyes

A man’s got to eat

(so does a weekend monk
reprieved from the world
in the womb of his room)

so step out in the street

cars look like running shoes
(or do running shoes look like cars?)
television faces
wind in weaving trees
television eyes

television faces
contain
television eyes

dazed gaze
error mirror
sizzle dazzle
screen gleam

splintered carnival
fragments flickering
scattered sparks

swallowing radiant hollow
craterous gaping glare

flash : back : back : flash

blink
and
blink again

hurry under a static sky
to buy granola and yogurt
