Selected Imagery Based on Physical Gesture

Oo-la-la. A Heisenberg space,

your eyes trapped in your eyes.

You can make no physical gesture,

you can't even squirm at

the burning child, the decay of him,

selected by whom? because the infospace

for “squirm” turns it on.

Only feeling floats free in this hernia

of metaphor, there’s no icon correlative.
