Images flickering
On the wall
Of childhood’s cave
Never before seen
In context at the time
Somehow still
Artifactual captured
In remastered sound
And grainy vision
Jump cuts and jokes
Overlooked or outright
Awkward laughter
How many hours
Spent remembering
Half watching the same
Losing all referent
Just existing one moment
And the next
Three decades or more
Static bouncing
Off the satellites
Sustaining circulation
Delayed punchline
Wocka wocka wocka
