They
left the TV on for years. No one ever
seemed
to watch it.
Often, I
could see it through the open drapes
illuminating
the room at night.
Eventually
the TV caught fire.
Flames
shot out from the walls
and the
roof.
Someone
called the police.
Neighbors gathered in the street.
They
opened their mouths in wonder
but no
one spoke. They
watched it all
like
some kind of ancient sacrifice
as they
witnessed clouds of smoke
floating up into the heavens,
sending signals to those
no longer left on the ground.
sending signals to those
no longer left on the ground.
