An American Dream

Television is the anesthesia of our culture. My only question is this: For what surgical procedure are we being prepared? If my system wasn't abuzz with that very nearly-numb sensation I might feel some ominous burden of impending doom. But I'm happy to just crash, feeling blessed to have found my bed...just as I left it, still warm, quilt outstretched calling me back into the folds of its promise...: Don't worry, you won't feel a thing.
