Poet Alicia Zakon's ode to self-determination is a perfect fit for Poetry Month or any program examinging power in relationships and/or domestic violence.
Describing power in a relationship as a metaphorical remote control passed between the two parties, Zakon says:
Why you let him play you like a video?
Turn you on and off like a radio?
Tell YOU when to go
fast and slow?
Change you channels 'cause he can't stand your show?
Summary: Using the functions of a remote control, Alicia Zakon tells the story of a woman who is stuck between wanting to be in love and wanting to be free.
