Cross Word Puzzle TV Guide HoroscopeA Poem by Brett Hernan
He has a fondness for putting human beings to waste and destitution whilst on display, to the delight and amusement of both himself and for his merciless venom spouting nourished audience, generally enamoured of his every cruelty. Publicly unloaded upon some other one whom they could only secretly, spitefully envy for having had the privilege of inhabiting that magical light box in which pictures move and which contained a swathe of beautiful pleasures and people and into which
They could not see their lives
Ever seeming to fit. A life which could only ever be glimpsed, in blanket wrapped, lounge suite lunges, with cold fingers, into the broken and empty, no lucky code containing, Cheezoes cheese-flavoured cheese snacks packet. A strange childhood fantasy which must seem, when temporarily temporally cogniscently self-aware and in that mode of thinking where, ‘We matter too!’
Shut down into a nightmare’s ghost train dead-end broken junction box abandoned railway station flowing with spider webs.
Inside, some inexplicably mysterious and deeply repellent cloud of shadow.
In both his own mind, and withoutdoubt, constantly, in those, of our viewers.
