Spoiled Milk
I was a child seduced.
Mesmerized by ABC, CBS, NBC-- suckled at the small-screen nipple, miseducated, inundated by glowing images. I had Good Times with the Jeffersons, poked fun at Aunt Esther with Sanford and Son like we were All in the Family. I learned the Facts of Life from Arnold and Willis; went through my own Growing Pains with dysfunctional Family Ties. I took One Day at a Time, all the while hot for Designing Women. I was mentally masturbated, desecrated by what Neilson rated, was a channel surfer long before my family could afford a remote surfboard. Subliminal advertising commercial misrepresentations-- spellbound, I grew up thinking Life is like TV. It took me 29 years to see television is not 20/20. |
