The Remote
When the sound is off,
the adrenaline fades,
and the performance ends,
where does your mind go?
When the lights are off
and the weight of the day
dissolves into the mattress,
where does your mind go?
Did you let your diffuser run out?
To turn the screen back on
please press any button,
except the power button.
What should I do?
Do I turn you on,
or let the screensaver run its course?
My thoughts are fevered.
I’m ready to press play,
but you are so far away.
Do you still hear me calling,
or am I fated to the depths of the ocean?
