Through disappearance of the ideal self 
in fragile words of tangled sentences, 
as grapes of vines draped on sheltering bower, 
the non-subjective person I perform 
expresses objective knowledge of truth 
available for our communal use. 

We go down to the ship of sturdy wood, 
set keel to breakers foaming on gold sand, 
and forth on godless sea of glowing depths 
we sail swart ship that Circe built for us 
toward peopled cities below mountain peaks 
where gods no longer play games with our lives. 

We meet Tiresias in high mountain grove 
who stirs mushroom wine in cauldron of bronze 
beneath black monolith carved with star runes, 
then, as we kneel in communion of faith, 
he gives us each wafer of rye to eat 
and sip of wine from holy grail of love. 

Startled by my thoughts of cute dancing girls, 
I look around vale of the waterfall 
and see abandoned shallop on dark shore, 
so I embark on sunlit mirror lake 
and sail past slimy caverns of blind ghosts 
who call my name across the universe. 

Fierce gusts of wild precipitating force 
sweeps my frail ship across the serpent sea 
where ancient monsters who once roamed its deep 
reveal through visions glowing in my mind 
the primal homeland of my scattered tribe 
where my first mother taught me how to sing. 

Leaving little boat that bore me past Hell 
tied to tall willow tree in rocky cove, 
I climb along narrow stairway to heaven 
winding around sharp icy jagged peak 
that towers up between me and my stars 
till I arrive at cavern of illusions. 

Meditating on huge round emerald stone, 
immortal dinosaur goddess of truth 
pierces my soul with gold draconic eyes 
so I dream history of her ancient race 
that ruled the Earth two hundred million years 
in global empire of temples built with jewels. 

When dinosaur goddess gives me gold wand 
with diamond that preserves first flash of time, 
I transform from ape into wingless angel, 
then I descend from Mountain of Jehovah 
to find humanity worshipping idols, 
so I grin and give them computer tablets.
