the morning after

"electric tv"

turning static tv on
is an exhausting bore
terror is not exciting
danger is not heart skipping
your cries don't heal wounds
rifles always miss the real victim

you know what is thrilling?
something that will keep
you on the edge of your seat?
new electrifying entertainment?

kindness.
help.
tender love.
action.

the demand of anything
when it is absent
will always be higher
take notes.
