New Poem: 5700 CHANNELS

inside most days of the week
turn on regular television 
stories of front lines
bad self-given haircuts
everyday heroism
switch to cable news
president blaming others for disease 
sometimes New York governor joins in
go to streaming services
Netflix now doing dating shows
of the kind I turn on Netflix to avoid
here’s YouTube
sing along with the musicians
locked down in their homes
how I wish to see a concert again 
without catching the disease
find obscure movie channel on tablet
watch Chris Mitchum, son of Robert
in badly dubbed 80s action movie
stop thinking of indoor living for now
get those bad guys, Chris
