GUIDED BY REMOTE

the hands are claws,

oyster-cloying genitals of beasts

star-bound.

we are wards of space

like rock’n roll

bound for the unconscious-

destroyers of practical

management.

the hands melt down,

physics scowl,

dreams, molten lava

and music-

given you got

tablature,

can’t match Resurrection or

prepubescent hard-ons, amongst

the awkward dust of the

Tonka truck.
