TELEVISION SAMPLING (A Visually Found Media Poem)

\'What you are witnessing is real.....
transmits up to 3000 feet.....
Oscar winning special effects.....
made in America.....
.....(handle not included).....

.....digital music express.....
two dinners for only one price.....
railroads, robbers, and rebels.....
new fish in weekly.....
polished head of Christ pendant.....

.....unconditional 30-day money back guarantee.....

Live.....
.....Englishman found dead.....
.....current lucky number.....

Up next.....
special guest stars.....Sally Struthers.....
Van Halen.....Great chefs of San Francisco.....
and.....spirits of the rain forest.....

Just west of Route 53.....
the judge makes the final decision.....

This has been a paid presentation.....\'

(Note: Like the song/album title poems of bands, this is another variation on
the form of \'found poetry\'(which I dislike as somewhat unoriginal in it\'s usual
form).This was constructed by randomly flipping through
T.V. stations and writing down snatches of whatever text was displayed on the
screen at the moment on that channell.An experimental piece).
