TV guide
the constituents of awareness
are a keen mind
and sardonic wit
of intersecting insights
checking into a cheap motel
for a two-day stay
–
The entity that we take so seriously as our self
is at best
abstract
self-created
a perception
of dubious and fleeting reputation
a flattering of persona
that I take great delight in
yet I can’t help but notice
the shady paranoia
lurking on the wings
peering at my clever construction
teetering on the precipice of my neurotic mind
as I watch the evening news on network TV
