We do the zombie shuffle and dance.
Blue and pink lights flash across the screen.
Reporters pontificate at the scene.
After we saw Lee Harvey Oswald shot on live TV,
there was no turning back.
Our old world had gone black.
Our memories have been blown away.
What story are we buying today?
The Boston bomber is
on the loose.
Another five thousand dead in Syria ,
there’ll be no truce.
There are no umpires dressed in black.
There is no turning back.
The TV drones on, we watch in a trance.
We do the zombie shuffle and dance.
