Remote


We lost the remote again.

As a result, life has been stuck on the same infomercial.

-3 easy payments of 19.99

-No CODs

-Buy now get 3 free.

-Wait, there’s more…


How have we lived without it?

Whatever it is.


The world would never know,

Except we will always know

Because the confounded remote

has disappeared

into the vortex that is the couch,

Or the basement,

Or another dimension that is inaccessible to this mortal coil.


Meanwhile, here we are,

Ready to buy,

But waiting for the number 

to flash across the frozen screen.
