It must be real hard
coming up with all the limb-extension
gismos to combat some idiot
who pets his cat with an iron prosthetic,
defeat him without using lethal force.
Gadget, you should be the spokesperson
for our evolution,
what we all aspire to, considering
we have no natural defense mechanism,
no scorpion or stegosaurus tail,
no venom or pincers, no claws or saber teeth.
No, just bigger brains to think these tools up
(however the animals did we’ll not worry about),
birth industry as an offensive strategy
against thinking we can change channels
without a remote, even turn the TV on,
though I’m anyway too aroused by the octopus
arms I’ve welded to my psyche,
so whenever you reach to unzip your fly
that means my night-stick is gun-shy.
