Time To Wake As The Earth

Time to round the building corner of fate 
and ask the blind man in swan-feather cape 
how children are reborn from sticks and stones 
based on fake legends in old leather tomes 
stolen from libraries by bitter trolls 
who cannot find humans without weird souls. 

Time to ride the rocket ship beyond fate 
in dream trip captured on celluloid tape 
long before angels had all left the Earth 
to animate concept of the light word 
tangled with emotions of gods in rooms 
who play tragic lovers to jolly tunes. 

Time to escape glass labyrinth of homes 
constructed from code of dinosaur bones 
despite commitment to holy crusade 
contrived by bankers to monetize faith 
because mad jester crowns himself world king, 
proposing marriage to the skating rink. 

Diana drives red Volkswagen at dawn 
in splatter of rain from the Bible psalm 
on crowded highway in large Texas town 
with her son destined to play prophet clown, 
who thinks about his bike with demon wings 
despite how often the telephone rings. 

Time to prove bent-space formula correct 
by dream wizards from the Adventist sect 
who worship sorcerer of butterflies 
to calculate thought-twist of the next phase 
we humans must dream-travel to evolve 
with romantic tension lovers resolve. 

Time to play honest game of chess with Death 
in effort to translate what the tree says 
about proper etiquette on the wood path 
where we wrestle shadow of the pop quiz 
before we build our house upon the sand 
this shifts word dunes to redesign the land. 

Time to grow up and become the adult 
who sells secret prophecies of the cult 
about Tzatziki-flavored kettle chips 
that Jesus and Achilles share on trips 
to explore landscape of Greenland with hope 
humans will soon find peaceful ways to cope. 

Dionysus searches for quiet spot 
away from distraction of money games, 
and listens to breath of planes among clouds 
when obligations bluster past in wind, 
knowing we decay as Self vanishes 
at death just in time to wake as the Earth.
