Where on the Dial

Where on the Dial

Where on the dial is the meditation channel? 
The one that slips you back inside yourself 
The station found when frantic safecracker fingers 
Fall free from a tumbler that has no combination 

Is it listed in the TV Guide between I and Thou 
Embedded in Google’s algorithm  
Accessed in a choked request to Alexa or Siri or God? 

It must nest  
Between the right hand in the left hand 
the left hand in the right 
Between in breath and out breath 
Between sunlight  
and dawn
