The Moving Handrail

Please hold,
The moving handrail,
And face the direction of travel.
Choose gold,
Sip your cocktail,
Try not to unravel.

Sister brother - moving handrail,
Smother mother - moving handrail,
Fragments into lust.

Don't fear,
The moving handrail,
As you clutch the hand of the devil.
Keep clear,
Don't you fishtail,
Try to keep it level.

Scroll the phone now — moving handrail,
Skin and bone now — moving handrail,
Bodies into dust.

Face of body force of mind,
Indiscretion left behind,
Moving handrail — moving handrail,
Onward, only down.

Don't gripe,
The moving handrail,
Is leading you on with its tether,
Break type,
Stop the blackmail,
Now we fight together.

Rock and roller — moving handrail,
Heart and souler — moving handrail,
Metal into rust.
