My Life is a Rerun

My Life is a Rerun

A Poem by Elle Thompson
"

This is an autobiographic piece about the last two months of my life. This piece focusses on the peculiar ability to warp time that your television has, hours pass like seconds.

"

Change the channel

Zone out

Scratch your a*s

Sleep til noon

Eat some chips

Count the hours til dinner

Blend in with the wallpaper

Nuke a tv dinner

Forget your name

Your name is static

Couch potato

Author's Note

Elle Thompson
Television is not poisoning your brain. In fact, the last musical I saw in the theatre was written worse than your average day-time television drama. There are lots of worthwhile things to watch on television, and just like anything else, in small doses, it is good. However, watching seven plus hours of TV a day, low-quality programs that aren't stimulating and engaging, can be bad for you.

I stay away from TV... and much as humanly possible... I do not even watch the news... the propaganda is just threw the roof... I mean where is the journalism any more in the work... there's a difference between reporting and actually finding the hard evidence before mass communication... I remember when 3 channels had more productive programs than the 300 some you can get now...
