Haze

Memory filter

Clogged

With information

From endless TV

Commercials

This toothpaste will give you

The whitest teeth

Why you need this book

Full of miracles on how to live

This product will make you slim

This product will give you back your youth

This piece of jewelry is a must have

This deodorant will never let you sweat

Bombarded

Blindsided

This TV channel has the best shows

Surf the web without a surfboard

Should I do streaming or use a dish?

Once there were three channels

NBC, ABC, CBS and no remotes

You want to change the channel

You got up and flipped a dial

Dinosaur days with TV guides

Favorite shows and actors

On the glossy covers

Before the maze

Before the haze

And precious little time

To assimilate it all.
