Even Still

Even still, the tv is playing in black and white.
Sound works perfectly fine, but you need to
jack your headphones into the side to heart it.
Don't sit too close to the tv, you might lose your vision.
You're running on dial up, but still stream
movies in 3 second intervals
Do. You... know what it... means to
.

This still frame is nice. Plastered on the back of a college brochure.
We're smiling, so we're friends.
Printed in full color, we fall like leaves in autumn.
Especially when we have become
Golden and brown.
And just as autumn leaves do in the white winter,
we fragment.
Strewn across a mess of snow
in order to nurture the ground for a colorful spring.
But you never liked to be outside in the cold.
Sing Bing and be merry. The fire crackles
with a fluid motion.
Download complete.
Cue sound and let there be technicolor.
Don't interrupt during the movie and
please don't ask any questions.
Two hours later, in a matter of minutes,
A black backdrop is placed, the credits roll.
We get up hazy eyed from our bed.
Open a can of soda and our tv plays in the background
Even still.
