What a fix to be stuck on A sea of remotes  Controlling their channels (Channels really know How to pull people in. But not me. I just watch news.) Piles and piles and stacks  Of remotes Mangled up in cords  Around the main event: The TV. Back to that pile of remotes - All different kinds & controls There's a pink one With polka dots or chicken pox There's a swampy soggy one A grey tomb-stony one Etc., and whatnots What to do with all them? Control the tube, of course, But they all do that A little bit differently. "To hell with this white noise" I ****** up a chrome looking remote Soapstone it wasn't But cold cold cold still I pressed the red button near the front Blinked it didn't  But got stuck. I just stared in frustration For a long while, into that fuzzy screen. And then Out of the white noise A gigantic chrome razor-hand Came crashing through Pulling me in.
