Million Dollar Man

And
Action
(Hollywood: evolved)

Out of an air conditioned Prius, I open the car door
A warm desert heat rushes in
In the infinite expanse of the malls and designer condos
A treadmill burns quietly on the freeway

My sculpted abs are a conduit
For something unknown
Both empowering and fragile
Both judgmental and scared of judgment
Bottled water
Why is that that I'm so conscious of water all the time?

Traffic jams and designer suits
Lost in the smog of an ancient dream
Fear and hair gel in a silicon simulation
24 hour hand sanitizer

And you remain anonymous
