Remote Control

I'm one of those guys
With a remote control in hand
Blinking back and forth
Between Monday Night Football
And the Antique Road Show

Past and present
As close as breath
As if continental drift
Was as thin as the space beteen warm lips

And we could collect these moments
Like sepia photos in a shoe box
To be appraised by an expert
And be surprised at how precious is
This treasure in our hands.
