give me the black and white Zenith

i look
at the battery powered drill.
push the button
trying to turn a screw
into the wall.
dead.
i have no
clue where the charger
is.
which one of a dozen
wires
belongs to it.
the weed Wacker, dead.
the phone,
almost dead.
the lap top,
the i pad.
i miss the plug in the wall,
and the turn
on and off button.
putting tin
foil
on the rabbit ears
to watch the Twilight
Zone,
Alfred Hitchcock
and the Outer Limits.
fiddling with the horizontal
and vertical
dials like a Nasa scientist.
