"Remote Controls"
A radioactive remote control.
Black and white turned into living colors.
Plain sets turned from cable into high definition.
Filling the television with old fashioned commercials and the latest in programming.
Grand Central Station is full of commuters from nineteen fifty six.
Elvis reads the Daily News headlines in the fifties.
The advertisements are for dog's bad breath.
Nancy Reagan is telling us to brush three times a day.
The firemen will rescue a lost cat from a tree.
When Eisenhower was president.
There are no homeless in Exurbia.
Only dogs ate dog food out of dog cans.
The whole country is anti-communist in the fifties.
The Big Bopper is singing Tutti Frutti.
There is always an ending to the beginning.
Fuddy duddy fads always end.
Bolts of lightning just happen.
People live and die forever.
