the tao of the vcr
for ernesto priego

Popped the tape and the world exploded

The film was a *classic* of cinema

The student and the teacher locked into

A symbiosis of flesh that death

Couldn’t know a woman trapped

For an answer sex is life

Sex is the coronation of an event

That opens a vein and stumbles upon

The last road to hell
