I fell asleep while watching t.v
The static colors played against
the back of my eyelids.
Dull neon greens and yellows
flashed dully, etching
themselves into my memory.
I absorbed everything.
The garish chatter of cartoons
pressing demands of infomercials
soft whispers of soap operas
hurried voices of newscasters

And then,
our story played
our very own sitcom on the airwaves
we laughed,
we fought,
we cried,
we loved,
and then all of a sudden
It ended.
A to be continued...
stoic on the screen.

But by then I had woken up
Because
real life is so much better
Then the static color and noise
and the tentative be continues.
I don't have to wait for the next episode
because real life is so much better.
