universal remote

January 14, 2009

Pause   rewind
play that one more time

keep your finger on the button
feel for a pulse

oh I see         it’s a parable
no  actually  it’s a parabola

no matter how you hit it
it comes back to get you

not too hot to pick up
but too hot to hold

on    to other things

Is that all there is
What was that

Who is this

This is it

Hurry up

get on the elevator, get in your car, get in traffic
get home, get in front of the TV

get in bed,  get to sleep
get up,  get to work   

Play it again                
 
Does this phone look OK with my hair
Does this outfit look OK with my career 

looking to the future of a redshirt kindergartener
handmade with love by a Chinese prisoner

it’s the best of both worlds
too bad we’re in the third world

baby needs new shoes
but baby can go barefoot

we’re not related
and it’s all relative

confusing to the courteous
it’s a five-way intersection

where Antidepressant Avenue
runs parallel to Depression Boulevard

Stop
back up
play it again















and pay attention this time
you can go your own way     but
I want you to show me the way
and then I’d like you to meet
Edie and Eddie and Eddy and
this is Billy and that’s Billy too
and that is my other brother Sara

I hope that remote came from an entity that can afford a brand new tv to replace the missing remote.

I think that remote came from a hotel within 2 blocks of 1200 5th Avenue. But it now works really well... mounted to my handlebars. Give me a zip tie long enough and I will change the world.
