Poets are nice guys
I am hell of a nice guy
How come I can't write poetry?
No no, it was about me
It is always about me.
Everything is about me

the phrase..."Control of your TV set"...was, you know, from the sci fi TV show called Outer Limits, that actually was a rather intelligent, show for the times, it followed on the heels of the Twilight Zone.A lot of the sci fi that came out of the 50's and then the 60's was intentionally done to make the Whole UFO's thing look ridiculous, where as The Day the Earth Stood Still, which is been done in a rather crappy remake, was actually a positive message, except now the military industrial( media pharma) complex, that Ike warned us against, is just as hell bent as ever, on Controlling your TV set.
as an aside, i don't think that with the beginning of TV, other then Percy Dovetonsils played by Ernie Kovacs, that there was any real attempt to make poetry look cool, from the 50's on.Thus, unless people are exposed to poetry from a family member or friend, then most people still see it as,
like the stuff in a Hallmark card.
obviously a lot of people write poetry that is a notch above Hall mark cards, mentality, and a lot notches above it, and classic poetry or romantic revolution poetry is, well, its not like the sugary sentiments of a Birthday card, say, but, anyway, best leave this conversation for now.As i might suddenly become possessed, and begin channeling Percy Dovetonsils, or the church lady even.
