Nightly Fix
by Joy Reid
Why do I watch it, night after night?
I don't get it, what's the attraction?
That over-rated comic with his rodent nose
pinched, sexless body
and runners large as loaves.
The co-star with her Cyborg chin
obsessive permissiveness
and Medusa hair.
The next door neighbour
who ice skates in
throws epileptic responses and paranoid lines
seaweed hair electrically afloat
and the shouting man, the short angry friend
who refuses to work
and is petty with his cash.
Why do I watch it? it just doesn't make sense!
It's petty
it's obsessive
but it somehow twisters you in.
