forgive me, I was raised on t.v.

All these windows into the human soul—
yet I tune in to a low-lit screen
where static crackles many tongues.
Behind the glass, a rerun exhales,
looping me in flickering scenes:
I am the host,
the laugh track,
the clapping crowd,
the phantom in the corner of the frame.
God—what became of me?
Was I ever human to begin with?
