Absent Minded
Reality TV
I talked to my television
quiote a few years ago
its starting to add up
you would think it would be unbelievable
this power i kind of have
this force around me
this whatever it is
this ghost behind the skeleton flag
that covers my new tv
I told it when i was
i dont know like 14 or so
a few things
like of a rockstar who was to commit suicide
and some other stuff
It started the conversation
i just replied
I remember the channel
I remember who said what
I remember jokingly saying
I liked the tolkein of affection it had for me
but i have yet to read the two towers
and if i ever had an emergency
i had only needed one number to call
But that was soo long ago
thats old news
im might be spoiling everything right now
but what do i have to lose?
Whatever i say to my tv
eventually happens
I don't know why
when i talk to my tv things happen
like throwing rocks into the future
and it happens to me all the time
I talked to my tv
and told it new orleans would one day better be a good swimming team
to be honest with you ive even asked my television
for a tornado that sits in the desert and goes nowhere
and the tourists can come and go site seeing
youd test it out too right?
if time after time after time after time
you spoke to your television about
lunar eclipses and tidal waves
mental institutes and amazing races for a big brother playing house
what does it matter
that stuff to me now is just mickey mouse
I tell you
and im smiling shaking my head
knowing you dont believe me
when i talk to my tv
things happen
they unfold
and its happening in reality
its been happening for yers about 13 or soo
now it sounds like its getting outr of hand
but i think i might be making a delicate friend out of the muse
inside the radio
the internet im figuring out as an emotional vampire
thjat works through the instant fulfillment of fantasy
and drainment of energy
but the television and radio
not like i have them under my thumb
but they listen to me about as often as i listen to them
And everytime ive ended up in the mental istitute
which has been three times
it was before a terrorist attack
it was before a sinking city
it was before a tsunami
that me and my television talked about
and in this experience the muse
caters to the experience
like being the audio of my being
like an echoe of my soul
a reflection of my being
coming back to me
because of what has happened between the television and I
and the radio is capturing the fleeting emotions and thoughts
that are catching up in reality
and the internet is like puzzle pieces of scattered energy
I dont talk to the television anymore
because everytime i do
im thrown into the twilight zone in a few years
when something comes to pass
and if you believe me
that somehow im responsible for these happeniongs
the tidalwabves and terrorist attacks
through this thing called a television
and its power
then let me ask u if urs started talking to you at the age of 14 or 15
what would you do or say in your moments ofd power
knowing soo little about the world
and up until that moment ur life had been a verbally abusive broken home
torment of cult like activity at school
what would you say?
what would you do?
If your computer screen wrote this message for you to read
and you read it and it said
if ur readin ghtis ur in a position of power
whatever u say is going to go
and becomes what will be
so choose wisely
what would you do what would you say?
would you take it seriously?
or would you turn it back onto god?
back onto me?
back to where it started?
try to take ur turn?
another lesson another burn?
if u have read this u know what u must do
if this was shown to you
u know who i am
If u know who i am
do u think I'll ever catch on?
