Review of Remote Control

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?
