Bill Yarrow
to rescind the statute of imagination
cancel the subscription of allegiance
walk the streets of restraint
pilot the airplane of honesty
reenter the data into the computer of turpitude
replace the bulb of affection
cut the nails of beauty
cut out the heart of ambition
sew on the button of dignity
develop the film of fearlessness
climb over the gate of vanity
reorganize the files of contempt
paint the portrait of collusion
peel the skin of chaos
bite the flesh of synchronicity
blow the nose of serenity
forget the name of appetite
lean back in the arms of sensation
grasp the hand of frenzy
take the temperature of diffidence
depress the gas pedal of mercy
buy a case of probity
close the door of thralldom
and retreat into the craven cave of contemplation
