Gorilla IgnitionA key in the neck, a hole in the brain,
A twist of the wrist will turn the inane
into a vital fighter. A grip of plasti-flesh.
The palm is backed with weatherproof black and brown fur mesh.
Headlights focus, belly rumbles.
Throat exhaust. Muscles tumble
over shoulders. Knuckles spin.
Teeth are lit into a grin.
Goggles down, saddle mounted,
turn the key. Attack the mountain.
Acrylic paint on wood with found objects.
