series of haikus about something i was confused about



I saw a haiku
The author's been dead for years
But tv wasn't there


He saw the future?
No, that is impossible
How did he do that?


I’m very confused
How’d he know about tv?
Many years before


Maybe I should stop
This has been a long series
I’m still confused, though
