Do you have a speed dialer
Brisker than the Haribo
Employed by the boys outside
Stimulant gum for brigands
Friskier than the runabout
Th’aquatic raceabout
A getaway over the cove
Do you have a speed dialer
More entertaining than tumblers
Than barebreasted roundbreasted women
Who leap and handspring over the bull
More entertaining than crystalline salts
Ignited t’illumine the night
Do you have a speed dialer
More ancient than the strata
Than the striae that streak th’upturned earth
The rings that wreath the Methuselah tree
Older than the parched-bean dance
That drives the demons hence
And ushers good fortune in
Do you have a speed dialer
Wiser than philosophers
Devisers of lucent enamels
To blaze on façades of Bagdad
Wiser than the alchemists
Of dyes and tinctures
Ornithopters and sublime retorts
Pyromancy geomancy gloss and cosmopaedia
Do you have a speed dialer
Stronger than heroes
Half gods and quarter gods
Who lay low the monsters
Of many heads many appendages
Stronger than Orphic travelers
Conquerors even of death
Do you have a speed dialer
Higher than a satellite
Ma Bell and Pan Am
Higher than a scimitar
Hurled twisting into the Gemini
Eviscerating the Twins
Composed of and dwelling in
Star
