Not Lauren Graham

My daughters watch the
Gilmour Girls non-stop, wishing
I were Lorelei.

Same old lament

National TV
talk show called me to be a
guest. What will I wear?

Respite

Thank god a day has
gone by without Britney Spears
in the media.

Get a life

Front-load energy
saving washer. Fun to watch
clothes spinning around.

Triage

When we run out of
batteries, we sacrifice
the TV remote.

Dewmocracy

Dayglo yellow green

freedom with caffeine.

JD & Elliot 8x/day

My daughter channel
surfs, feeding her ‘Scrubs’ habit.
I’m no Superman.

Seasonal attire

Wearing the mantle
of autumn. Cold starry nights
days of leaf-strewn gold.

Boob tube

I lock the TV
behind the armoire doors so
I can get work done.

24/7 coverage

Where would CNN
be if breaking news ceased,
nothing to report?
