Wounded lovers dissected
little pieces sewn together
making it what it is
a monstrous abomination of amore leftovers.
Count the scars
Twist in the electrodes
SHOCK IT BACK TO LIFE!
THROW THE FUCKING SWITCH !!!
Feed it lighting intravenously,
pumping passions into a shell,
just so the townsfolk will riot like hell !
Lynch that beast!
But it's just a project
the innards are
salvage from your rubbish
your rebuked
your played out toy
..an unwound yo yo
a plastic gi joe
styrofoam plane with lost rudder
pulled from a clogged gutter
a few pieces from Bradley's Operation game
and the good doctors abandoned liver.

grins and nods before bitting your lollipop and runs off cackling something about oompaloompas and microchrists

Good stuff, imagery and direct speech, quite shocking syntax that breaks through lethargy.
My favourite line is the last; takes me for a trip that goes from Prometheus to another glass of wine.

A lot of nostalgiac imagery here.
I like the effect here...
"SHOCK IT BACK TO LIFE!
THROW THE FUCKING SWITCH !!!"

Thanx hoss. This is one that is best performed as a spoken word, esp when the attending crowd is of those quiet meek type.
