Televisual Delights Poem by Charlie F. Kane

Saw myself on TV, tell me-
Do I really look that small?
Is that how people see me,
Or is it because you’re all so tall?
I saw you 3 times today,
I ignored you the last time because I was scared.
The times before I only saw a glimpse
As I channel surfed through people’s faces
How could I be sure you were looking at me
Or did I just imagine it that way?
With your hair of dying embers
Eyes so deep and green
Polka freckles on snowy skin
I should have asked you to marry me
Like I see all the time on TV.
