The Next Thing

about to get video game on
with the doctor’s rebuttal
this is an epidemic
of my limits, this ambivalence
this time of the year, this vertigo
but more together than that
glass that doesn’t ring
and clinks blankly
i can’t read the line
the next thing on the out of print schedule
in the face of a ray gun
just to repeat the sentiment
on my typewriter
there must be no doubt whatever about that
