We are the coming together of a City after a National tragedy.

We are a healthy diagnosis after months of uneasy test results.

We are headlines of invisible ink on the last rites of a suicide contract pact.
9 pm:
We are cultured and only appear against pure light.
10pm:
We are unconverted, yet a scientific type.
11pm:
We collect dead skin on our faces and hoard it like lush confectionery.
12am:
We nudge the loudest products into every hollow box until blood shows.
1am:
We are always there/or bored/then always there/or bored
2am:
We require very little effort to maintain.
3am:
We are given cues. Happy/and or/cry, segregating based on faith and musical overture.
4am:
We are optional in 987 ways.
5am:
We are ten minutes of almost attraction, nose close to orgasm before we have to pray.
6am:
We are a ten second delay in case of a passionate live outburst.
7am:
We are a sponsored political party campaign, clicking past forming tumors.
8am:
We are falling asleep to us.

We are rinsed in electric dye and bad for our eyes.

We are Television.
