Ensconced in the images.
Injections from the 40 inch
frame across the room.
Bourgeois buttocks comfortable
on a lounge cut from old growth
forest by third world underaged.
Watch the news for sports updates,
interspersed with messages of the
latest products, requirements for a
new and improved reduced fat life.
Abject images are quickly flicked.
Reality TV is an oxy moron.
