Ode to Printer
Oh printer,
I wish that
You would
Stop
Enchanting
My cat.
He stares at
Your orifices
With such
Intensity,
(Quite rude,
Isn't it?)
He looks at
You as though
You will begin
To speak to him
(Though I doubt
You share a common
Language.)
He comes running
As you begin to
Churn, pulling
Paper in and spitting
It out as you
Ink words and images
(As though what he
Needs is being printed,
And he needs to grab it
Before anyone sees.)
Oh printer,
Please
Cease and Desist,
Your charms,
Your siren calls,
Your promises
Of being an oracle.
Cease and Desist
Your actions,
Whatever they
Are,
And
Release my cat.

They don't watch anything on American TV; they read the local Chinese paper and watch the one Asian channel, pausing to turn off the TV in disgust whenever one of the five daily Korean soap operas comes on.
