Proposal for a new TV show. |
Execs, suits, network heads, heed me, because I have a TV show for you! Call it, Fall in the Family…a humble suggestion…But as to the show, it would be about a family where dissension reigns, where backs are stabbed and bitten, where animosity is the norm. Ergo, members fall, they slap like pine wood ringing cold cement the smack of grief, wounded by stilettos piercing ventricle, aorta. Be it Edith, (maybe Mike) they are dropped by bigotry, by prejudice and homophobia; attitudes outrageous, stalking in enmity, hefting ax to wedge the bond family forms, where virtues then grope sans eyes, and green-eyed monsters gnaw to pulp the very calm of love. Ungracious galloping goes on in Fall—stallions full force in stride, the winds of foul cutting across their path, the fall of night a welcome respite from the blazing sun of strife. The mane, now ragged, matted from the viscous drool that is disrespect. Thus Fall would be as true to life, as night to day, as black to white. Ah, lend me thine ear, gentlemen—consider Fall in the Family…Fantasy Island is no more, and the time for trekking to the stars is cardboard on the porch. Reality goes with the Fall. 40 Lines Writer’s Cramp 7-30-16 |
