untitled #1
A glass pane, clear as crystal.
Sound proof on a single side.
Screaming while watching.
I am not in control.
Pounding on the barrier in front of me.
He won't listen.
He needs to stop.
I'll tell him when he wakes up.
A TV show I put on myself.
Although I hate the main character.
He won't listen as I scream at the screen.
Who wrote this show anyway?
Why can't I change the channel?
Why can't I mute?
Wow this guy is terrible.
Okay I can turn it off now.
But I'll probably tune in tomorrow.
I'm a passenger in my own car.
Being chauffeured by myself.
He's not a great driver.
He doesn't listen to my instructions.
"Turn right here."
"Make a U turn."
"Can you just take me home?"
See? Nothing.
Once a back seat driver.
Once a disapproving viewer.
Once watching behind double-sided glass.
A year in, skies are clearer now.
I get to drive.
I like the show.
I broke the glass.
