change the channel

when we tire of the wars
going on
around the world.
we flip the channel
to a baseball game,
a nail
biter in the bottom
of the ninth,
or turn
the tv off.
maybe we go for a walk.
take a nap
out back in the yard.
maybe we
go for a swim,
or play some tennis.
when we return we can
watch more of the word's
chaos again,
half paying
attention
as we stand at stove
making dinner,
searching the cupboard
for spices
to add in.
