_ neon neural candy
sweet synaptic jolts
glistening red kisses
snap five thousand volts

into my brain
am i insane?
nervous refrain
pleasure is pain
do it again

warm erotic taffy
twisting into shape
clinging strands of appetite
the flesh cannot escape

see how they bind
starkly defined
bodies entwined
leaving behind
presence of mind

sharp and insubstantial
brittle candy floss
would less stimulation
really be a loss?

____limber and lean
flesh or machine?
setting the scene
cutting it clean
what does it mean?

the id sits in its corner
chewing on desires
like a gnarled puppeteer
pulling all the wires
greedy whisper halfway heard
quietly conspires
we pretend we do not hear
our actions make us liars

grey and wrinkled monster
tyrant chemicals
sensation parasites
riding in our skulls

sometimes it shows
hitting new lows
here’s how it goes
take off your clothes
strike up a pose
