Split Machinery

[macdaill]

Electric Stan was an atomic bag man
with a quantum reputation,
a countenance with a flexible grin
and eyes like ebony singularities.
Particles in the galactic hurricane,
he slid along the curves in spacetime
to discharge his perilous energy.
Crash mechanic for the multiverse,
he existed in spite of reverent dread
of his spectral masters corrupt power.
He was a well financed machinegun
with a manufactured morality,
plastic programmable conscience
and multiple delirious personalities,
a risk to all but those who owned him.
