Adult Puppet Theatre

In your deepest method
Stretching through your foot
Not past hinge
Brushing against your own puffy sleeve
Your own
Like stick arms and stick legs
Tied or pegged
Fastened for good
Or for reason
Reason enough good
Good enough reason
These things get colored
Dyed or painted
And what of bad
Bad comes in waves
Spots and lines
That's all there is
There are spirals
Checks and angles
All lines
There are dots
Negative diamonds and stars
All spots
Waves only know waves
For when it is silent
No rippled spots
No jagged angry teeth
Waves hide in lines
Until abruptly awoken
Touching at crest and tied
Touching in gut until spot
Then abiding
By all rules that display
Method
