(De)Saturated
by V. BlakeColor TV fucked everything up.
My kids are only gonna get black and white.
So every night,
after they're done with their homework,
and they're sitting on their antigravity couches,
(And don't even get me started
on the goddamn antigravity couches)
and when there's a holy war on every channel,
at least my kids will be able to see
that all the angels and devils
bleed the same shade of gray. 12/08/2009 Author's Note: Also I will be poor.

| Posted by Traci Mabats on 12/29/09 at 01:38 AM yup, last two lines are killer. |
| Posted by Glenn Currier on 07/17/10 at 01:35 PM Isn't it ironic that now, if someone wants something to really stand out in a movie or television episode - they use black and white? Those last three lines make an especially solid impact. Thanks. |
