So cold brains cracked
Noses stuffed with cotton
Knees corroded with oxides
Backs frozen in Velcro
Feet stiff like brackets
An assurance hung like wires
Wrapped to nails in ceilings
The cluttering mess a puzzle
Of blocks & fragments of cloth
Awaiting an electric current
And a copper spark
Like fire from the Heavens
To activate this puppet
In its weird dance
Of simulated life
A shoe worn & sad
Flying toward the audience.
