king early science fiction
space age tin toys
turned our hands
theft dexterous
fingers clasped
and bent around
an object
and observer
worn wonder
wears on you
in the futures
we suppose
mostly we sell ourselves
mechanical adherents
back door grandfather clause-ing
the extra-cellular ritual
confession that any artifice of time
we may have held onto
matters not when it rains...
there is always
another soul's thoughts
perusing your sacred
sense of now
your conscious
mind when
bones seeking
flesh again...
you wind up
potential kinetic together(s)
at a watering hole
the barkeeps
wear skeleton keys
for the really exotic stuff
and you have to ask for it...
miniature demons
and good things
with wings
mostly spirits
inside glass
smartly labeled
with cute
and barbed
come-on(s)
and off(s)
display shelf
all for sale
what avails
your desired
way enough
out there
