On the Box:

Busted blue shoes
You're on the box,
Neon and forgivable,
Bright
And
Insubstantial,
You! Tv Ghosts!
On the box,
Smiling,
Shaking your heads,
Sighing
And delivering speeches,
A sea of vapour
On the box,
Whistling
In the box,
Shimmering around it,
All I can see is a screen,
A 70's sitcom,
Punk music,
A nature programme,
Filtering into my TV BRAIN,
Mouth wide open...
Being force-fed happily
All this mess and chaos,
From my box-shaped life!

I like your structure. It's so unique. Do you plan it?

No I don't plan it Trish, it just kind of comes to me as i am writing stuff. Although, I do like to have a sense of rhythm to the words and repetition of themes.
