The remote
The remote has a rewind button
But it doesn't work on the tv
Instead it works on real life
By pressing rewind

The leaves rise to the trees and find their place
Dead trees stand up again

Winter comes after spring
Fall comes after winter
Summer comes after fall
Spring comes after summer

The cars move backwards
The planes fly backwards
The boats sail backwards

The clouds begin to float faster and faster backwards
Faster and Faster that one day
Becomes one year

That one day turns into one century
The rewinding is uncontrollable

Before you know it
There was a big bang
And nothing left to rewind
