The Best Poem Of Guy McDonald

Control

He makes a request but there is no reaction
He requests it again, now with more energy
No reaction
Stands up and screams
'Do as I say! '
Still no reaction
Neither makes a sound
'You will work.'
He swiftly lands a hit
Once again, makes his demand
Still no reaction
Frustrated, he lands a second and third blow
The request is made again, still no reaction
Now enraged, he beats his subordinate
Eyes wide and furious
Teeth clenched
Spit flinging out
He delivers a hit against the table
Even goes so far as to throw across the room
Still no reaction
Calmly, he leaves the room
Shuffles through a drawer and returns
With batteries
He figured they were dead,
And that's why the remote wasn't working
Pulls apart the plastic and they hit the table with a clank
Takes off the back
Slides in two double A's
Puts on the back
Points at the TV

Still no reaction
