Worship The Golden Car

Worship The Golden Car

Empty white bowl on table of the mind 
waits for rain of memories to redesign 
how gray clouds glow in the late evening sky 
with desperate passion of the insane crow 
that glares at me with lightning-fractured eye 
as he pecks at locked front door of my home. 

Toy rifle in hands of the running boy 
designates brave courage of the empire 
that conquers the world in the name of truth 
and sends fierce soldiers to fight to the death 
who return home to commodify joy 
they sell in stores to people of desire. 

Great city shining on the hill of skulls 
becomes center of social gravity 
that draws from country towns into its core 
broken-hearted people who escape schools 
eager to build towers of liberty 
where they bow and worship the Golden Car. 

White turtle crawling on the signless road 
might be supreme deity of the stars 
disguised as lowly animal men fear 
when they gather in Temple of the Toad 
but call each other on the telephone 
to purchase stock shares of the rolling stone. 

We attempt to organize with blind eyes 
new disassembled puzzle of the world 
according to strange ideology 
of national faith in theology 
that all we believe is programmed by spies 
who work secretly for the cosmic herald. 

Trudging down narrow trail of scattered phones, 
I search for oldest woman in the world 
somewhere deep in Grand Canyon of the heart 
who determines our fates with her star chart 
according to how the dragon lies curled 
when young couples apply for mortgage loans. 

I wake as incarnation of rune god 
named Odin who stands on ruins of time 
staring at millions of mute faceless souls 
driven mad by hunger for clever rhyme 
when they wander lost without social roles, 
abandoned to death by the justice squad. 

When cargo ship of state loaded with dreams, 
we sell each other in exchange for faith, 
collides with frail Bridge of Forgetfulness, 
our broken bodies fall in gushing streams 
that carry us to Sea of Happiness 
where we drown in eyeball of the God Wraith.
