My Life is a Music Video

blurred squareshapes
surface from a silent ocean
venutian dancers spin and shimmer
as I suck down air
and succumb to the weight of boredom
I imagine I could smile
for the camera
and pantomime the operation
of almost any instrument
while digital effects
swim between the air
and your screen
I could make believe
like a boy with no worries
chase the girl with her head turned
fall in and out of love
in three minutes and fourty-four seconds
die and live and die again
all in time to a moving pop ballad
perhaps you would notice my face
and buy my product
throw your own self worth out the door
and tell all the children
'what you know is who you are'
how would that make me feel?
i would feel.....images
pixels
the buzz of tubes and burning air
three in the morning with no remote
half asleep and hearing me scream
'we will always be....' whatever
I could do these things
I have done these things
but I cannot stand one more video
to pass my eyes
