Chemical Wings
Cupid
Assume the position
Bow meet arrow
In my tender condition
Cupid
Idleness-in- Love
Kiss on the eyelids
Sent from above
Our lips miss and we drop unconscious
Our. Lips. Miss.

Romeo Rorshach
Romeo, Romeo
Romeo, Casanova
Rorschachs kiss
Straightjackets touch
Braggadocio
It’s all too much
And the teardrops drip
From your fingertips
No humility
Just a drip drip drip
Romeo, Casanova
First he’s in, then he’s over
Yes, he’s older and he’s wiser
The unzipping womanizer
Reputations kiss
Just a bit too much?
Chloroform on the lips
Maybe just a touch
And the teardrops drip
From your fingertips
No humility
Just a drip drip drip
Romeo, Casanova
First he’s in, then he’s over
Yes, he’s older and he’s wiser
The unzipping womanizer
Romeo, Romeo

Brass-Knuckled Bowie
Opening ceremonies
Aggro pastels
Friends and enemies
You know me so well
Man or machine
I never can tell
My understudy won’t understand
I don’t have I name, I just have a brand
Profound pronouns
Can my plastic heart feel?
A suit of armor
Now am I a man, for real?
Man or machine
I never knew the deal
My understudy won’t understand
I can’t feel with these man-made hands
Ain’t nothing but a piece of brass
I short circuit all this
When I wet my lips to kiss
You cry a little in the dark
Well, so do I – I aim; I miss
Man or machine
I never made the list
My understudy won’t understand
Blowing my fuses isn’t what was planned
I aim; I miss

Army Brats in Love
I joined the army to become a man
Or was it for the uniform brand?
Brass buttons and bayonets cross
For you: “I do”
I’m at a loss
Army Brats in Love
We found love in the military
We went from scared to scary, scary
We found love in the military
We kiss Uzis shot right through me, through me
I joined the army to become a man
Or was it for the uniform brand?
Always Prepared,
But not for the
Things that Bing Crosby sings
We found love in the military
We went from scared to scary, scary
We found love in the military
We kiss Uzis shot right through me, through me
Army Brats in Love

Butch (You First…)
It’s the worst
Going first
It’s a curse
So, hold my purse
Two cliff tops
Do your worst
You first, man
You first…
First things first
Heart will burst
Call the hearse
Keep things terse
Two cliff tops
Do your worst
You first, man
You first...

Penthouse
11:23 p.m. and night has fallen
His face pressed against floor to ceiling glass
Nothing will get him back to bed
And the moon is out, at last
Stars as bright as traffic lights
The highest rooftop in town
Over 300 feet up
With a wind blowing down
Satellites as far as the eye can see
Reflections in a golden eye of closed-circuit TV
In every dreamhome, a heart is bent
A story here, in every crack of cement
With things on my strings
I mean what I meant
11:54 p.m - Now what was it that Einstein said?
The theory of Unified Field Electromagnetism
But he’s already stopped listening
A million windows; 360 degree vision
He’s 360 feet tall - Primetime television
Live tonight - No electricity required
Departure time
In every dreamhome, a heart is bent
A story here, in every crack of cement
With things on my strings
I mean what I meant
12:05 a.m.
Constellations in shade
Invisible handgliders
Liftoff

Emmannuelle XXX
Your nom de plume
Thrown around the room
Taffetta and lace
And soft-focus perfume
Angora, by the ream
Satin, up the inseam
Chiffon and Chanel
Almost like a dream
What he learned about women, was only the shell
Farewell, Emmanuelle, Farewell.
Soundtrack by Gainsbourg
Chateau from a fable
Champagne in the jet set
Late-night cable
This is softcore
Bisexual chic
Chic on the stereo
Sleek in the sheets
Soundtrack by Gainsbourg
Chateau from a fable
Champagne in the jet set
Late-night cable
What he learned about women, was only the shell
Farewell, Emmanuelle, Farewell.

Lavender Courtesy Phone
I’m OK; you’re OK
Redacted love
The makeup stays
Coffee, tea, me in a hurry
The wall’s seen it all
Don’t you worry
2 on 1 or 1 on 3?
He learned it all from MTV
Lavender courtesy phone
Elevator
Uniform
Standard-issue
It’s the norm
Architect’s function and form
Call room service
Just getting warm
It’s the calm before the storm
The names are secret
Ink on the form
Lavender courtesy phone
Zip me down
Away we go
He learned it all from Romeo
Lover-Soldier-Sailor-Spy
The bullet spray
My engines die
Lost his grip on reality
Keep this quiet
Just you and me
You and me

Airlock: Open.
Must love isolation,
Antarctic cold,
All the motion sickness,
And never coming home
He walks in beauty like the night
And the stars will fold
It’s forever cold
It’s endless quiet
Exploding into gold
He walks in beauty like the night
Must love the confusion,
Recycled air,
My gamma wave love,
Never reaching there
He walks in beauty like the night
And the stars will fold
It’s forever cold
It’s endless quiet
Exploding into gold

Wolf Tears
The fur is slick
Elegiac
Midnight eerie
World-weary
Cobalt eyes
They will cry
But never
Really die
The microchip slips
Just beneath the skin
‘Reincarnated’
He will live again
Crestfallen
Snowfallen
He’s all mine
Top-of-the-line
Cobalt eyes
Will always cry
But machines
Will never die
The microchip slips
Just beneath the skin
‘Reincarnated’
He will live again
