I can't quite get my head around this one, but I love the title and the metaphor of static.
ReplyDeleteI think the structure of this poem is really interesting. I like how you made it seem like flipping through channels, I think it was a good choice for the message you are trying to get across.

ReplyDeletei reallly like this. the title's clever.. and the poem gives an interesting view of pop culture/tv. i especially like the end where the mom tells her kid to go out and play as an alternative to tv. his response is very funny/appropriate for the poem.
ReplyDeletei always like your poems they are so interesting, and most of the time have to do with society being destructive and manipulative. haha johnny
