My Own Direction Home

My Own Direction Home

Safely ensconced as the complete unknown 
in cardboard box of my alleyway haven, 
I ask Sisyphus why his rolling stone 
smashes only idols of the gold raven 
who brings me god mask from the ancient tome 
that helps me map my own direction home. 

Dancing with demons on Mount Helicon 
who guide me to the Fairy Queen in Stonehenge, 
I show her map I drew of Avalon 
so she rewards me with the holy orange 
which inspires me to build the Pantheon dome 
since I forget my own direction home. 

Chanting magic spells with mad Baudelaire 
who teaches me how to storm the Bastille, 
I steal jeweled crown of Apollinaire 
to prove I am the lost King of Castile, 
so on American highways I roam 
to navigate my own direction home. 

Claiming Siege Perilous of Percival 
with Wand of Zambor as World President, 
I encode secret of the Holy Grail 
as wizard who performs the sacrament 
through which I rule Earth from temple of Rome 
after paving my own direction home. 

Through reason of Apollo I explain 
how Earth beams from first flash of the big bang 
while strumming guitar on the street in rain 
to reorganize my loyal street gang 
who helps me when I play the empire game 
as fool lost on my own direction home. 

Through passion of Dionysus I leap 
on wings of Icarus above the world 
to Elysium where sons of Jesus weep 
at second coming of the Cosmic Herald 
who devises code of my royal name 
which signifies my own direction home. 

Hitchhiking to Eden with Sisyphus 
to drag King Midas off the global throne, 
we sit on head of Ozymandias 
to plot salvation of the rolling stone 
when lawyers arrive to deny my claim 
to redesign my own direction home. 

Wandering signless roads of America 
as the unknown with no direction home, 
I get lost in wild hills of Attica 
to find myself at home wherever I roam, 
hiding in Cave of Dreams to evade Fame 
who tries to block my own direction home.
