"You complete me"
I whispered tenderly
To the half-priced
Half-resolution
Hand-picked
Off-brand
One day only on sale
Newfangled magpie shiny Black Friday
Television set
In appreciation
It glowed warmly
Though putting off nothing but cold
As it streamed images
Though my eyes
Into my soul
Crushing it
Beneath the sheer weight
Of humor so humorless
That the laugh track was needed
For one to know when it was funny
Of sales so amazing
That my wallet started vibrating
With eagerness to splay itself wide open
Like an over eager mother
About to give birth
Of news so real
That it felt like it was a world away
But right next door
With fire and heat and death
None of it my problem
Just for information
Pixels soon melted away
In a sheen of my own tears
Eyes propped open invisibly
The urge to blink gone
Such was the sight
Of my newest of loves
I whispered tenderly
To the half-priced
Half-resolution
Hand-picked
Off-brand
One day only on sale
Newfangled magpie shiny Black Friday
Television set
In appreciation
It glowed warmly
Though putting off nothing but cold
As it streamed images
Though my eyes
Into my soul
Crushing it
Beneath the sheer weight
Of humor so humorless
That the laugh track was needed
For one to know when it was funny
Of sales so amazing
That my wallet started vibrating
With eagerness to splay itself wide open
Like an over eager mother
About to give birth
Of news so real
That it felt like it was a world away
But right next door
With fire and heat and death
None of it my problem
Just for information
Pixels soon melted away
In a sheen of my own tears
Eyes propped open invisibly
The urge to blink gone
Such was the sight
Of my newest of loves
