Not a quot window on the world quotA
But as we call youB
A box a tubeC
-
Terrarium of dreams and wondersD
Coffer of shades ordainedA
Cotillion of phosphorsE
Or liquid crystalF
-
Homey miracle tubG
Of acquiescence vein of defianceH
Your patron in the pantheon would be HermesI
-
Raster danceJ
Quick one little thief escortA
Of the dying and comfort of the sickK
-
In a blue glow my father and little sister satA
Snuggled in one chair watching youB
Their wife and mother was sick in the headA
I scorned you and them as I scorned so muchL
-
Now I like you best in a hotel roomM
Maybe minutesN
Before I have to face an audience behindA
The doors of the armoire boxO
Within a box Tom amp Jerry or also brilliantA
And reassuring Oprah WinfreyP
-
Thank you for I watched I watchedA
Sid Caesar speaking French and Japanese notA
Through knowledge but imaginationQ
His quickness and Thank You I watched liveR
Jackie Robinson stealingS
-
Home the image O strung shell enduringS
Fleeter than light like these words weP
Remember in they too wingedA
At the helmet and anklesT
