I’m a poet, not a celebrity
who belongs to the advertising world.
I am not mugging for television,
or in a marketed video pitch.
Watching television limits your brain,
which attempts to remember vacant trash
like leaf-gutter commercials or toothpaste.
*
TV clutters your memory storage,
reduces neuronal recognition,
encumbering memory brain cells—
that is a fact and not mythology.
Any profound thinker needs solitude…
*
Artists work in the smithy of silence.
One needs time and space to create something…
