Television

on monday morning, the world was gray and hopeless 
it was cold and dark 
i wanted to die 
so i watched television instead. 

when i get too devastated to handle it all
i always make myself write a poem that isn't about sex 
i make myself do something that isn't about sex 

i don't know anything that isn't, really
i think i might be some sort of pervert 
i have to do something that isn't about sex 
so i watch television instead.
