I will
pretend to
channel
a channel
like
channel 3
full
of static
or the
channel guide
and preview
and forecast
what’s ahead
for you
the channel
will appear in
colors
such as
green silver
maybe orange
and report some
local news like
the current
high school dance
mrs. johnson by the way
down the street
forgot to bring in her
trash can from the curb
the boy who mows her lawn
close by and who
does good deeds
caught sight of this
and slid it up the drive for her
passing by he noticed
the latch on her window
was broken thinking he
should fix it for her
later during the week
he snuck in that way
he was able to get the radio out of there
she would always be asleep
to poor old Rosie O’Donnell
every few days he would come back
and she never knew
later he got the TV out
which was great to him
which got boring after awhile
a year down the road
they locked him up for arson
on napkins to himself he’d write
“I should’ve stuck with
mowing lawns and robbing houses.”
