We put the square silver screen
in our mouths,
and watched television in a towel.
The Flinstones and The Jetsons
are in the same universe,
as proven by the Great Gazoo.
And Desi Arnaz invented television,
when it comes to ownership anyway,
which is the most important thing nowadays,
even though the only valuable thing we own,
is the Earth,
the rest a story we tell ourselves,
or let ourselves be told.
