Reflections from the Hidden Temple

Reflections from the Hidden Temple

A Poem by Jamie
"

Good show...

"

 

it's 6:30am and I am still awake
we got the brand new Comcast digital cable
and we've got all kinds of new channels
and ohmyfuckinggod
it's Legends of The Hidden Temple
on channel 142
and I f*****g loved this show
back in the day
I wanted to be on it
but I had no friends to be my partner
and I was never athletic
and I'm still not athletic
but ohmyfuckinggod
even now
I could totally
get to the shrine of the silver monkey
so much faster than these
athletic but dumb 12 year olds
and put that statue together so fast
you'd think it was my b***h
and when the temple guard tried to f**k with me in the next room
I would knee him in the crotch
and ask him if he's ever seen a pendant of life in the D
and then after I grabbed Nefertiti's necklace
or whatever little f*****g treasure
that week's legend was about
I would jump out of the temple
back on the set
and shove it up that annoying host's a*s
then I would take my Sketchers and my trip to Cancun
and sell them on Ebay for gas and grocery money
but instead
I'm sitting on my mom's couch
20 years old
watching reruns of Legends of the Hidden Temple
and still feeling like
I should've gone on
like it would change the fact
that I'm 20 years old
sitting on my mom's couch
watching Legends of the Hidden Temple 

ohmyfuckinggod
GUTS is next
