the world is contracting
and we're all getting a little closer

waterwheels wear hats made out of hay
spun by robot warrior samurai machines

it all sounds faintly familiar
like an old fairy tale

perverted by sexual tension
and industrial revolutions

Tiger Woods's penis is in the news again
riding a chariot to Oedipal destruction

even if I had my own marketing department
I'm pretty sure that just one woman

would be enough

if her arms and legs
weren't battery operated
