As if we were dung beetles

Wednesday, June 22, 2005 - 10:00

Home renovating,
Decorating,
Auction.
Swapping wives,
Choosing women,
Fashion.
Models in a house,
On an island,
In a ship.
Viewers watching,
Viewing "life"
As they sit.
What does the TV industry
do to our reality?
It bites and chews selectively,
digests vitamins B and C,
all subtlety and tragedy,
absorbs all the complexities,
and leaves us with ...
the faeces.
