Not So Remote

a sestet

Looking for that place beyond his memory, 
he scans time and space within the room's debris 
waiving the embrace requiring energy.
Twisting in the settee, he finds it in his lap 
clicking uselessly  - alas! it has no zap 
Lacking battery!  how will he take his nap?

THis is really cute. And I really relate to it. Sometimes when I can't fall to sleep at night, I use the low sound of Tv on to lull me to sleep. (opposite of needing the remote to zap tv off!)
