Poetry: Off and On

I wish it were that simple…

You think this is something
that can be flicked
on and off
whenever
you want?

There’s no easy button here
to press,
no switch
to flick,
and make
all these problems
disappear.

If there was —

If there was,
I would’ve pressed it by now.
Don’t you think?
