crawling from beneath
those aforementioned
nefarious foundations
of this nascent
tv nation

came the shit show

the first of many
networked itself
into being
by glomming onto culture

like a virus
it just kept replicating
until nothing recognizable
was left

the people were enthralled
nothing like it
or what it was fast becoming
had even been imagined

from farcical fantasy
to the blunt and banal
to the anything-goes
daily outrage

all this shit was there
on the screen

no stage
was big enough
no ruse
was rude enough

its fecal fecundity
ran instantaneously
deep
to the very core
of public life

what a shame
what a show

Peace/Love
