this old bf skinner sings
despite disappointments
gruffly thrown around and thrashed
by ossified behavior
oddball wilhelm reich machines
the object to experience
the ways that love is sabotaged
by countless human flaws
burl ives blows his nose
and glances sideways at james dean
tells him jimmy put some english
to your brilliant shartruce green
american dream machine
kierkegaard is focused on
a point that's way above
setting down in pointed ways
this universal humankind personality processor
he believes its most impressive features are transparent
jangling in the brain
a pop song dribbling with intent
from soho down to brighton
flippant finger sent
bouncing off a crummy robber baron's rubber bumper
the only world view and belief
that means a damn is
flippant
all around these spiffy consoles
fragile personalities stilted ocd's1
diddling more expressive
new varieties of ding dongs
alexander graham bell
appoints his index finger well
stroking poking skillfully
earmarked flippant from the start
ringing up sardonically
he's dialed into
fauxbrow art
