So I remembered why I stopped watching anything on Amazon Instant Video. At least I got a poem out of it…

The sound cuts out
every few seconds
to make a jittery narrative
out of convention

This annoys him
but he keeps watching

The platen advances
but half a line

This adjustment
is slightly harder to make
the words run together
in unpredictable fashion
for which he does not have a feel

Then he remembers
that this can be adjusted

So he gives it a try
it seems to work

Now he can carry on
