Summary: Thoughts on being a media fan.

Never did like that
second-hand dollhouse:
furniture painted
onto the tin walls
(fourth wall missing),
only replaced by
clutter and mismatch:
phonograph soundless,
icebox backless,
people all monochrome
(cowboys and soldiers,
yellow and green),
the only woman
the giant madonna
stolen from Christmas.

Now I'm a hypocrite.
All day I play in
a second-hand dollhouse.
Some of the furniture's
still two-dimensional;
some of the clutter
and mismatch remains.
But sometimes the iceboxes
have milk and eggs in them;
sometimes the phonographs sing.
Some of the cowboys
and soldiers are women.
Some of the virgins
seem less out of place.
