window tv

i look out
the kitchen
window where
i work and i
think and i
dream and
i see so
called
life
out-
side
moving
(flickering)
like images on
a television screen
and it makes me want
to scream maybe some-
times i don't quite get
the message, underlying
or not - the punchline.

and the people walk
back and forth and
interact and i
watch them
from a
window in
a building
built in the
1850s. silent
and watching life.
