His Master's Voice
Welcome to all receiving our signal positioned within the grasp of unrelenting possibility freed from the routine indignities suffered at the factory captured at the moment of cathartic full-blown disclosure a dream of continuance and money back guarantee Blessed, yet drawn to the face on the pamphlet the eyes of the less fortunate nomadic client sub-sets still suffering the discomfort of the free trial installation great human struggle cleansed of all possible contradiction mortality’s stain airbrushed from forecast revenue projection Mobilized, yet too refined to be military the chrome, the leather, the limited edition cup holder consumer culture camps inside a pro-democracy free market cell shrink-wrapped tight to relaxed-fit post-modern consciousness high definition alter of phone service, rhythm, anonymous sex All high, we buzz like our sponsor (SONY) a rare narcotic glamour of dysfunctional celebrity crucifixion aerobic reproductive posturing and trademark simulated jazz spanking pre-moistened, lemony-fresh, sum of all experience thrust percussion your tribal elder’s voice emanating from inside the pop star husk So listen my children, and you will hear the sound of misbegotten souls in the long night of division consumed by the amplified voice, false virtue, theatrical longing each of us according to our need and major credit card affiliation seated in the VIP section of the aluminum megaplex esophagus Such spectacle, oh rowdy hymn to privilege the reassuring twang of our beloved cowboy death anthem while a choir of famous kidnapped children (bathed blue light) prepare us for an appearance by the people's choice trinity Pre-War Elvis, Young Jesus, Jack Nicholson as the Joker Never more alive, we openly mock gravity the crushed velvet souvenir post-apocalyptic ascension a tiny hand-painted porcelain puppy’s puzzled reflection in shimmering gold puddle of his own nervous invention his master’s voice from within the salty bubble burst
And we thought of a life of nothing to do |
