Metal - Mania


I am like all those other lonely women;
My eyes are closing, from the stinging.
I am ageing with the best of them,
I am growing veined, waiting.

My HEART is a cog turning,
I have BARBED WIRE for a stomach.
My legs are PISTONS burning,
My GUTS are rubber.

And all my parts are rusted, aged, breaking;
Even my technology is out-dated.

My teeth are RAZORS, biting.
My EYES are funnels.
My mouth is a SUCTION pad.
My ARMS are LEVERS.

I am growing veined waiting,
I am ageing with the best of them.
My eyes are closing from the stinging.
I am like all those other lonely women.

My ribs a FIRE GUARD.
My HANDS are CLAMPS and VICES.
My SPINE an IRON ROD.
My FINGERS FEELERS.

And even my technology is out-dated;
All my parts, All my parts, All my parts, All my parts.

Aviva,
Please take some comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone. Your symptoms mirror my own with the exception of a suction pad, otherwise I creak and stumble along with the rest of aged humanity.

An enjoyable and humorous poem.
Thank you
Keith
