Came in a box, square
Framed glass, metal back
What do you care?
A mirror, a reflection
But not the wall type
What’s my direction?
Transfixed
I’m transfixed
Double take, double twist
Transcribed, transduced, transferred, transubstantiated
Transacted, transcended, transformed, transmigrated
Transmuted, transitioned, transfigured, translated
We’re all transfixed
Got power, battery too
Connected, wireless, finger-drive
What do you want to do?
Media player, creative tools
McLuhan would be curious
Would he think we’re fools?
Transfixed
I’m transfixed
Double take, double twist
Transcribed, transduced, transferred, transubstantiated
Transacted, transcended, transformed, transmigrated
Transmuted, transitioned, transfigured, translated
We’re all transfixed
