he looked up from his writinglooked at the clocklooked at its accusing hands  their soldered fingers didnt lie  soldered they couldnt prevaricatecouldnt cheat forward or back  they were like a beast without an opposable thumb who wished an opposable thumb  imagine the real damage they could exert if they did

                                                                                  they could be like humans

homo sapiens duhduh fuh sapiens  haHa  

homo murderus inclinus

Wizard of Oz was tame 

                          If only I had a brain a heart  the nerve   the scarecrow tinman lion

IF ONLY I HAD AN FUCKIN OPPOSABLE THUMB!

                                                             it was late again 

after midnight  again

his coach became a pumpkin again

the coachman horses  became rats lizards mice  again

he was swinging in the breeze 

                                     again 

but he couldnt turn it off

he saidhe confessed he was in its throes 

                                           he wasnt embarrassed they didnt accommodate him  he didnt want to be accommodated

he would rather be a stick in a fire

perishing consumed   throwing heat and light

than hanging back green in the bobbing chill at the edge of the shadows thrown by the fire clasped by a stone ring 

times when he considered as much he thought maybe he wasnt as lateagain  as he was too early
