Ode to my Television

O heavenly box of light
Burnt upon my mind are images of Seinfeld and ER
I have always loved you but, alas, not all have
For years you have been made fun of and spit upon
Your creation being marked as the downfall of a healthy world
But this is clearly untrue
Perfect dimensions
13 inch Zenith with a built in VCR
You are cheap and foreign
But you have never let me down
For you are mine, and I am yours
An unfaltering friendship
Boy, TV, and Remote
Where human love and spirit have failed me
You have not
We need no one else to survive
We have each other
And that’s all that matters
