Remote Control

We were watching
TV like usual
not the sun setting,
not the birds flying.
The walks
not slow, not on beaches
but quick to reach
the remote control.

Here the couch
I wished was
rock. There
a coffee table,
I prayed was sand.
Somewhere, our clothes
upstairs, the thing
you sleep in
I hoped was
heaven.
