Kill Switch

Neural toxin transmission ... duel exhaust verbal emission Cold hearted con-fusion engine, fisticuff fuel injection tension Hope asphyxiation accelerator ... bad brakes, karma crash creator Metal lip kill switch — femme fatale depart spark ignition Speed dial turbo eraser itch, carbon monoxide vapor condition Poisonous rearview speak, foul vow peek under a cobra hood Leather tongue con-vertible, gaslight soul with the crooked bosom gear stitch Methane mood reverse reek; silver chrome clutch fingers, so roulette wheel no-good Neutral tone shift ... cruise control hostile: Death dealing driver heart hot-wired to a kill switch

Was reminded of Hall & Oates, "She's a Man-Eater" --- only your version is as Jimi Hendrix Star-Spangled Banner was to the original, traditional version! Vintage FJR, if I may say so. Amazing. :) gw
