I am walking on that side of the street
Where you find a stone in your pocket
And use it on the first stranger you meet
Could be you…or you..or you...
And you could be thinking the same thing about me
And meanwhile there’s a man watching our movements going in and out the frame
Deciding which one of us he’s going to keep
The saint said to the simian
As they climbed in the trees
I prefer the previous versions of you
To the latest release
And Tarzan bared his coconuts
Inside the alien pod
On a Mayan altar made turquoise
They smeared his sample on a slide
And I am back-channeling
I am reverse engineering
On the grainy black and white ultrasound display I see
Myself re-materializing
And I’m chained to the floor of the theater
And I’m floating mid-space
Spinning around til I’m stranded and dripping
As the chamber drains away
The stork said to the serpent
My delivery route has gotten dull
The serpent smiled and motioned him over:
Left me know you something original
Spiders wired to hydrogen cells
Wander up and down my limbs
The lashes on their abdomens wash me as they travel
Just like on the day I was born
Said Tarzan to the aliens
As the pod glow green and rose
With all the clorophyll in Hollywood
Parting the plastic vines of the jungle
