As I sat down on the couch last night,
I saw that there was a new show on
the screen before me
on the TV was a person just like I was
he was sitting there
a reality show
and in the room
decorated like mine
he sat and watched the other side
of the screen between us
it was like some kind of test
contest in which he would
win a prize if he could
just sit on that couch long enough
to forget what he came there to see
perhaps it's a flat screen
plasma, they call it,
a form of matter that flows beyond flowing
and the strings of the atomic nucleus are set
free almost to the point beyond points
as they were half a second after the Big Bang
but then, perhaps because of
a light passing outside,
the membrane shifts and I see
that the power all throughout my house is off
and the reality on TV has been me,
a doppleganger on the glossy glass
and been the more real for it,
and even knowing this,
the more I look,
the more it seems to me that
the room behind the screen is where I really was
and I have been its depiction.
