• Your arms move jaggedly
    your legs caught in endless dance
    eyes of glassy blue, locked in eternal gaze
    and face of pastel white, ruby cheeks of compliment
    your lips forever locked in adolescent smile
    jaw moving up and down, click and clack
    though no words can ever come out

    You struggle and fight
    fine wires your only guide
    rising from the heavens above to embrace your every joint
    your legs grow weary and your arms rigid
    but you continue your grotesque dance
    a slave to a will other than yours

    So dance, dance for all you're worth
    feel the strain and tug
    the clacking of your jaw is your only beat
    roll your head to the sky, someday perhaps you shall see
    with your doll like blue eyes
    the hand of the absolute
    the puppeteer of your soul.
