Behold today's transpithecine, a rough
Post-punctuation, pre-tense victim. Yes,
He's more than less than human -- man enough
To board a rocket skyward (more or less),
Provided that the keys are clearly marked:
[lol] indicates ejection or conclusion;
(He curls his lips and bares his teeth; still parked,
The rocket ship does nothing); [Im]'s allusion --
Identity slash message -- gives no hint
Of function; [:)] and [:(] are clearer, but
He doesn't press 'em, period. Twice he'll print
His name, then hit submit, reach up and shut
The cockpit door, and be a second coming
Himself. [;)] blinks, and gets his eyeballs humming.
