The Machine Hiccups

We drove ourselves and it hurts to sit down in wheelchairs 
outside by the greasy road where Mannequins wave our way     
from inside genetically modified
           insects;   my lover drives a blue scarab 
across the desert  land and leaves the most surreal tracks 
of disturbed dirt.   
Perhaps someone creative has an ice tea I can sip to quell my 
parched heart.
Inevitable.  Please, can I have a drink to inflate my aching 
heart?
And those hot air balloons       are too low toward the grounds 
& watching Golem reaching upward
to knock them like geeks out of the Royal Azure skies -- and 
they call me a freak//i believe the G.O.D. forgot his umbrella 
before he fell from our skies\\ and 
so who is the freak?
