MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK

OR

I LOVE LAMP

Batman lives in the darkness

afraid to step into the light

where no one can tell

if he is black or white

and it doesn’t matter

in the artificial light,

light up light up Batman

as if you have a choice

the Invisible Man

with the transparent eyes

cries out ‘Didn’t you know,

its gonna make me go blind?’

and Maximus lights a candle

for the Macabee children

and cries out

‘Rome is the light’

 

the Human Torch

is afraid to make hay

while the sun shines

so reads the Neon Bible

to the Men in Black

standing in the shadows

with Mick Jaggers mother

while the sun always shines on TV

the Sun King lights a candle

instead of shouting helpless

at nights Dark Materials

and in the Towers of the Sunset

the Saints of the Shadow Bible

tell the Robots of Dawn

‘If you feel you cant go on,

in the light you will find the road’

there is nothing new under the sun

and all is good under the sun

that shines on the bride

with the crayon eyes

waiting for Frankensteins monster

alive from lightning and sparks

bronzed from Athenas atom tan

and the terror of the scientific sun

Icarus got a green light 

to the dark side of the moon

and Daedalus burns a red LED

in the heart of darkness,

moonlighting from invention

laying fibre-optic cable

under Sunset Boulevard

Lestat pulls the blinds

against the Empire of the Sun

where the sun never sets

and even the dark continent

has a light that always burns

and northern lights illuminate a sodium sign

saying ‘welcome to the heartlight,

no time for tears of the sun’

Dave Angel stands in a moonlight shadow

with a glowing friend

in an electrical well

always watching over him

lighting a candle in the window for him,

lives in the outlet by the light switch,

his name is blue canary

one note spelled l-i-t-e

Apollo shoots speed and kills light

at Calcuttas Black Hole UV BBQ

and we must run thru the light of day

and run to the light of night

before seven days in the sun

tickles us down to our toes

then yes, we will begin to see the light

and like Hellboy, avoid a crown of flames
