Turning Inward

Turning inward
 after The Fall
Looking inside
 to hide
 from it all

The windows are closed
 against the wintry frost
The shades are drawn;
 sun breaks in, yet still
 daylight is lost

Cinematic discs of plastic
 entertain us, jaded to magic
We who prefer to talking heads
 or terrors to talk of, tossing in bed---
 manly muscle, bosoms, bustle;
 a joke more priceless than
        Her Majesty's diadem,
 we incubate in breasts of hubris
 the spirit of our times and nation
