that thing we are watching
is called a kinescope

it only seems to be flat
but in reality it is like a bag
filled with tiny dots
jumping around like
shining christmas
fleas

when those dots get their orders
they obediently stand in their places
and arrange themselves into �tree,� �skyscraper�
�the Balkan crisis� or �L. Di Caprio�
(just take a look at how his �white
shirt� shines - it�s all because of those dots)

so if you see something
horrible - don�t be afraid, don�t show
you can be deceived

there are no jungles there nor floods
no zombies with chainsaws

but I�m not saying that there is nothing there
(the way the obscurantists say)

there is a great multitude

of dots
