Vintage Vindication
I am watching the t.v. show Growing Pains and it brings tears to my eyes. I think
of the things my grandchildren watch. Less variety was more. We had worthwhile
lessons in a half-hour program. Today there is so much worldly noise.
VINTAGE VINDICATION
cataclysmic dust lands on the flat screen
our kids count each particle in wonderment
vintage past in crematorium ashes
new shows blast silliness no lectures
minds bounce up and down on bouncy balls
no matter! hand-held gadgets and earplugs inhabit
their stratosphere…their precipice, high places
gather all clueless moms and doofus dads
and a range of worldly friends, for a few laughs
light sprays out of the humongous screen
with blinding fury, ties a bandana over eyes
bags and gags common sense and loving hugs
now we had some laughs in the blast of the past
but we learned lessons too. vintage vindication –
that’s what i seek. harmony with loving hugs.
