this is it
“sacrament of rock
and roll, liquid silver, solid
gold, honey
on the slide to sweet
solution, high and lonesome”
-Campbell McGrath (American Noise)
a magician
shape-shifter
a thriller
with gloves
the enchanting
mesmerizing moves
that would ever float
groove – so smooth
mask the powers
of a master artist
and perpetual child
the modern/postmodern
fertility dance
and mating call
has hypnotized all
he
was the perfect product
of a bio-mechanical industrial construct
driven by sales
and sensational conduct
driven to the point
to inevitably self-destruct
sensual eccentric
also guided by Earth Mother
moon-walking on razor blades
a reflection of high western culture
my youth
would have never been the same
without the manifestation
of his imagination
and fame
stop
the love you save
may be your own
human nature says
i want you back
