The Selfie is Symbol of Phallus (From "The Mechanical Cock")

(Alright, enough of the sad poems!)




In the cyberspace of selective images
- man presents a limited assortment -
As the assembly line of a new porsche
- or the rare parts of an old cessna -
The selection is a careful issue
- as the editor's office at midnight -

The selfie is symbol of phallus
- as representational system in congress -
The male bares the arms or chest
- to announce the snap election -
Woman has right of suffrage
- she elects with precision of caliper -

The procedure is by secret ballot
- no caucus in the august chamber -
Despite the propaganda of the state
- woman appraises by her taste -
She kindly refuses the foot-rule
- she is expert of Craniometry -

Only a poor woman can fit a
mechanical rooster through
a letter.box ......................
Better to see with the eye
....... of a needle than .......
to hump a camel ..............
