Bring me the world remote;

Yes—

That one with all

The buttons

Bring me the world remote!

Slim

Shiny silver

And s l e e k

Bring me the world remote!

Power

Pause/play

And and OK

Bring me the world remote!

Down

Up!

Right

Left

And select

Bring me the world remote

Fast forward

Rewind

And it’s

All

M i n e

With the click of a button

My dog is barking on MUTE

In a moments notice I’ll be HOME

No more commute

No more melatonin when I can hit POWER

I can FAST-FORWARD though gym

REWIND all the time

Never mumble again with more VOLUME

Or if all else fails there’s CLOSED CAPTIONING

PLAYBACK SPEED and I’d live in the moment

But tempting is this

All I want

Is to pause

So please,

Bring me the world remote—

Yes

That one there

Bring me the world remote

Settings >> display >> brightness

Toggle down

Dim the sky

Bring me the world remote

Turn down the volume I can’t think

Through this wall of noise

Please

Bring me the world remote

With a fresh set

Of celestial batteries

And hit pause

Let me pause

Power down

Sleep and

Recharge

For I’ve been in low power mode

Far too long

Bring me the world remote

Bring me peace

From the constant replay

I don’t want to contemplate this compilation

Ruminate this reel

Replay dismay

Bring me the world remote

Because if I pause now

The world will not wait
