the fourth tv

i felt the urge
to purchase
another tv,
so i set the alarm
for four am to go
get in line.
three is just not
enough, not cutting
it. there is room on
the wall going up
the steps where a
nice 46 inch plasma
would fit just
fine. i could
take down my
oil reproduction of
the rembrandt painting
the prodigal son
and hammer a
nail dead center
for the tv to hang.
no need to plug it
in. they just look
so good right out
of the box, shiny
with that plastic
black trim,
and they are all
on sale for five
dollars at the local
big barn electronic
shop celebrating
the economic holy
day, black friday.
maybe i'll buy two
just in case the others
break at some point.
back up is always
good. i might need
some new phones too,
maybe another camera.
they're all so cheap,
why not.
