Imagine dressing to visit
A Main St. television store
Where a salesman in a suit
Offers his polite and friendly pitch
A dilation upon the joys of color...
Spectrums rendered by electron beams
Transfusing Red, Green and Blue
Into wonderful worlds of diapson form
You indicate a salient feature to your wife
Who is not sure, but interested, tell her more...
You say you shall write a poem about it 70 years
Later--assuming you were alive then and now--
Such the final line is a "Zen-esque" Haiku insight:
The color looks grand
It feels right, does it not, dear?
Nostalgia refracts
