THE  REMOTE

 
The kid took the remote -
and aimed it right at me.
It didn’t shut me off.
He was surprised because
it worked every time
with the TV. It went off
when he wanted it off.
But it wasn’t able to
shut me off. I looked
him right in the eye.
He tossed the remote
on the floor and ran
into his bedroom
and slammed it shut.
To be very honest –
this experience scared 
this little old me.
