Ode to the Axe

by Kourosh Taheri-Golvarzi

"Bring down that empire over there"
I love my axe.
My axe will do anything.
My axe alone can easily bring down a Communist empire.
My axe has a Viking's vibrato of death, doom, and destruction.
My axe has three raw, roaring, ripping humbuckers beneath its
six sinuous, slaughtering strings of sonic screaming and
rude awakening.
My axe gives a hissing, high heap of walled, wailing wah through
the blistering, bashing, bleeding bowels of my awakening,
ample-action amplifier.
My axe, with its Pythagorean string-octave theory, has the ability
to smash, bash, crash, thrash, flash in all its grinding,
gunning, gut-gouging glory.
My axe has the unrivaled power to destroy and create through a
hundred revisions, and will continue to destroy and create
indefinitely.
My axe sees no boundary and sweeps seas and soil with
sonic screams.
My axe is god.

Another excellent emotive piece. Perhaps I simply identify with the love-object here, having a similar intimate relationship for years. I like also the expressed impact/double entendre. Nice read. Thanks.
