Television Bones by Quinn Crook

We watch the mirror with television bones

And count the days, logging them on our broken fingers

Tell me, how does the information age hold up

Compared to the good old days?

Can we listen to Elvis’s greatest hits,

Or does the reflection not hold up to the scrutiny of the third dimension,

Just like the stale smoke in a camarilla.
