CONSPICUOUS UBIQUITY

Sudden movements may be larger than they appear,
The television leans over the edge of the chair
And a man appears, obviously attracted to the dark
In the room here with us. Darkness doesn't call
Meetings to discuss its atmosphere share in the false dawn,
It is what is called a positional negotiator. Keep turning,
It says to the earth, and I will be gone. With sunlight
It had a pretty comfortable arrangement going there.
No more! half-mad, we gather around the shrine
To Thomas Alva Edison and trade recent jingles.
