the world in black and white

at an early age
your soft mind was filled
with television.
all of it in black and white.
dennis the menace,
leave it to beaver,
sky king,
and lucille ball.
mayberry.
you never quite got over
it, thinking
that this is how the world
really is.
my three sons.
my favorite martian,
mr. ed,
donna reed and marlo
thomas.
it took Alfred Hitchcock
and the twilight
zone to set
the world right.
to show you what was
really going on.
