Electronic Puppetry

Algorithm marionette
Pulling your strings
She is the theatre agent

She punched your ticket
Long ago she admitted you 
At the same time she denies 
You she spotted you in the
Audience of Vaudeville in
The other century when your
Codpiece went haywire it
Was she who soldered the lead
Bead into your skin and jerked
The wires through a small slit
While she performed her electronic
Puppetry skit without abeyance sending 
Radio waves To the Russian opera in Salzburg
And the Nutcracker ballet in Moscow

In a forest in a dark cave
She manipulates you pulling
Your strings from the mood
She is in it won't be long
Until the animal silences 
The barking dogs of Albuquerque
The muzzles and codpieces soldered
Silencing the infrared beep of
The interloper she pulls your 
Strings and walks your legs
Through a maze to the End
Where the leopard lives she
Spotted you 

Without abeyance
With perseverance
Camouflaged appearance
Running interference
Security clearance
Electronic puppetry
She controls your
Mind circuitry
She pulls your strings
Walking you through Life
Courtyard and Courtroom 
Connect the dots she 
Spotted you

I would liken her to everyone's fairy godmother. Madly googling all their harebrained thoughts and finding all kinds of geniuses that will mother them into robots without strings.

Love the word play.
