The girl in the black dress walks down the street 
while dropping rose petals on cold cement 
to protest how vampires in business suits 
exploit zombies who work in factories 
building time machines for the king of fools 
to release the spy balloon in the sky. 

The singing crocodile in glass church 
preaches good news of the savior Sobek 
to explain resurrection of the soul 
when seeds sprout from mud to generate truth 
that hides beautiful horror of this life 
to confound the spy balloon in the sky. 

The girl wearing sunglasses in winter 
strides along the street like the runway model 
who never stumbles over our tombstones 
by solving crossword puzzles in the paper 
while ignoring stories of space invaders 
to observe the spy balloon in the sky. 

The shy hawk on the Tree of Lost Knowledge 
extrapolates wisdom from rotten corpse 
who waits among flowers with pungent scents 
that hypnotize the lonely wolf with hopes 
still unfulfilled when the crystal moon cracks 
to expose the spy balloon in the sky. 

The girl with three eyes that perceive hard core 
spinning forever deep inside the Earth 
with passion of the iron butterfly 
validates my sacred right to exist 
while she plays violin in the dream cave 
to assess the spy balloon in the sky. 

The honest horse who steals apples from snakes 
guides the lonely jester on signless roads 
that criss-cross nation of the angry boys 
who shoot guns of fear at shadows of truth 
which haunt their dark nights with horror of death 
to evade the spy balloon in the sky. 

The girl with serpent wings of burning words 
deconstructs story of the evil tyrant 
despised by the bourgeois who play piano 
for attacking nations of his own race 
instead of colonizing savage tribes 
to revise the spy balloon in the sky. 

The lonely demon in the video store 
smiles brightly at each person who walks in 
then watches Orlando after midnight 
play chess with Death in library of ghosts 
who plot revolution of the mad king 
to retrieve the spy balloon in the sky.
