The Remote

Don't we all wish we had one? To pause forward and rewind

Answering our prayers to the enigma that is time  Things like regret and statements like 'what if 'no longer holding us captive like slaves The 24 hour clock no longer determining how fast we behave.  Never having to be late or arrive too early

For once we wouldn't be at times mercy

To it we wouldn't be unworthy.
