Media Mediocrity Poem by Wanda Swim Strunk

Media Mediocrity
Castigation abounds

Temperamental Masses amass
A messy message

Ready made and waiting

Warhol’s blank stare
15 minutes is a blink of his eye

Everyone’s path is Plath
Today’s new follows the dead

We live in and by dead people’s thoughts

Out of context
No Virtues

People speak like Charlie Brown’s teacher

The vehicle of vernacular
Rides over a hodgepodge horizon

Engaging in corporal touch when
Escaping the cultural landscape

Switch off instead of switching ourselves
