A Circa 1963 TV



Across the desert floor I see
A circa 1963 TV
Consumed by some consumer and
Landing beside a cactus in the sand
To ride the sun into this land
Standing in for Venus on an old show

And I could understand that though
I think it looks more like Mars as far as
Whatever other world it was
But it was this one that looks otherwise

Seen on TV by other eyes
In 1963 and it could be
This circa 1963
TV across the desert floor from me
Was how they saw that show back when
Consumed now resumed on Venus again

Or on its stand-in now as then
A circa 1963 TV

It is interesting that the desert seems to be a time machine for all the objects dropped there and left to be preserved perfectly for centuries in the dry heat. I can envision start traveling archaeologists visiting earth 10,000 years now and speculating what kind of civilization we were from the debris we left in the desert.
