pulling the plug

when you stop watching the news
you are more
relaxed.
more unworried, more aware
of the tasks
at hand.
your own creations
are important.
when you turn off the set.
suddenly the world
is calm.
the repetition of death
and destruction.
hate and rage, everything
that you've been listening
to since a child,
is all suddenly gone.
