the horizontal
button on the tv
to make it stop rolling,
so my mother
called
the tv repairman
from the yellow pages
book that she used
as a door stop.
this dude
showed up with a case
of tubes
and wires, tools
and pulled the tv
away from the wall,
warning us kids to never
try this on our own.
he fiddled with it for
awhile, the plugged it
back in,
lighting up the inside
of the box.
but the screen kept
rolling and rolling.
finally he took his shoe
off and hit the side
of the tv, which made
the rolling stop.
after that we all became
tv repairmen.
