Poems and Prose #26: Animated

The cartoons flicker
   on the CRT screen,
Macabre in their mixture
   of slapstick and obscene.
I stifle a chuckle
   and dunk my spoon in my beans,
Pondering exactly
   what Bugs Bunny's smirk means.
Certain he's with me,
   I recline, now serene,
Thoughts now discolored
   with a brightly hued sheen,
Popping and bopping
   to a quartet of strings,
My living room fit
   for both jesters and kings.
