We have come to accept the DISH outside many homes, after all it provides endless streams of tv, etc. etc. But is it providing endless streams of us in reverse?

*There it sits* *looking almost ancient* *that dish* *perched high* *with a slight elevation.* *Grabbing a signal* *from out there in space* *while inside the building* *remotes click away,* *endless TV* *wall to wall* *movies and internet* *that dish has it all,* *yet pause for a moment* *yes that button there* *consider this thought* *if you dare.* *Are YOU being watched* *your every move in detail* *are YOU the latest soap opera* *for someone out there?* *You see we trust that dish* *well it has been a friend* *made us happy sad* *kept us on-line,* *but is it all* *it makes out to be* *is it an alien bug* *are YOU on Alien TV?*
