"the pump wont work 'cause the vandals took the handles"
bob dylan

handle
 hand
  band
clashing cymbals
 flying tea cups
  glass crashing
flying off the handle

does that always have to be an angry thing?
(these clichés, these emotional cyphers and codes)

what if
 flying off the handle
  meant breaking free -
   living alone with no one to handle me?
what's in a handle?
 a name, a code
  a tool -
   a handyman most probably owns a handle or two.
manhandle:
 donut even think of it - outta my way - i’m flying!

don’t piss on my joy
 don’t crank the damned handle and muddy my waters -
enough of drowning in the past
this is now
and i am flying
right off the handle -
right now.
