Based on high degree of complexity 
that measures random absolute of weird, 
my dreams of shining buildings on lush hills 
channel my journey in long crowded halls 
because my eyes beam subtle rays of light 
to carve faces for ghosts who know my name. 

Exceeding standard norms of burstiness, 
by how I generate strange narrative, 
my words contrive conceptual fantasies 
depicting faceless people who perform 
roles recorded in ancient tragic plays 
as dictionary tropes that keep us safe. 

Because I carve trunk of the weeping tree 
into the morbid drum of hollow truth, 
our lonely elders seeking solitude 
dance to beat of the bold shamanic tune 
pulsing with arrogance of ocean waves 
funded by government grants till we die. 

Old vacant house in the middle of town 
waits for the dead who once lived in its heart 
to rise from the grave with demonic wings 
so we can drink tea in the afternoon 
though Death wants to play chess with Honesty 
while agents of the secret service wait. 

If the faceless robot in cyberspace 
dreams every poem that humans ever wrote 
as simple lyrics of positive thought 
we can all hitchhike to Scarborough Fair 
where the child of the mountain wakes from dream 
to translate sounds of silence into songs. 

The meaningless riddles of truth we solve 
reflect the deepest fears we feign to hide 
till angels born from serpent eggs escape 
shadows of our minds on Icarian wings 
so we face our fears with riddles of truth 
to conquer monsters our blithe brains invent. 

For in the end the answers we devise 
map way of wisdom we must choose to take 
in journey through the maze of ancient myths 
till we arrive at gate of destiny 
to find our souls are shaped by how we act 
in life or death situations we plan. 

Trapped in the grand scheme of things without maps 
that help us decode riddles on the wall, 
we wander lit labyrinth of broken doors 
to overcome obstacles we create 
till we find answers in math formulas 
that measure how far ringing atoms swirl.
