Remote

                The game is coming on soon,
		three hours before noon.
		I hop on my bed, relaxed.
		Sitting still, so still, almost dead.
		Taxed.
		A hard day’s work deserves a 
		quiet night watching your home team
		inevitably lose. This is the fate
		of being a Wizards fan.
		I reach under the pillow 
		to change the channel. Not there.
		I look under the bed. Not there.
		By the time I find it, the game’s over.
		We won.
