Signs on roads are not symbolic to her 
when Giraffe Girl in slender yellow dress 
drives roads of philosophy to evade 
conventional marriage of unlike minds 
by holding brief candle of this weird life 
to shyly glide her hour on stage of hope. 

With problematic source of stuttered thoughts, 
Elephant Boy defines semantic code 
through unbound anaphors of private love 
based on structured propositions of fear 
with dynamic approach of pregnant fate 
to find himself alone on signless road. 

While she is going again on her own 
down the only road she will ever know, 
Giraffe Girl chooses the road in the woods 
less traveled by desperate seekers of wealth 
to calculate the difference that might make 
if she finds the person she wants to love. 

Though his large house has fallen off the cliff 
when earthquake strikes the California coast, 
Elephant Boy strides with nonchalant fear 
through apocalyptic fire of despair 
to rescue herd of horses from the field 
where mermaids always go to dance ballet. 

Sitting in the seaside cafe at dawn, 
Giraffe Girl writes poems on skin of the lamb 
to explain the pointless effort of art 
that beautifies terrible world of pain 
where men fight brutal wars of arrogance 
to control the fertile power of women. 

Tending herbs of language from desert dunes, 
Elephant Boy dances in the haboob 
that erases human structures from the world, 
then writes words at random with dragon blood 
on mirrored wall of the great banquet hall 
where our senators feast and bankers laugh. 

Without structural formations of meaning 
that operate social dynamics of power, 
Giraffe Girl focuses intense attention 
of fraught analysis on music tones 
that engage layers of significant spells 
if she could sing the last song in the world. 

To formulate the problem of dire fate 
in stark contrast with conceptual concern, 
Elephant Boy assembles puzzle graph 
to figure grand picture of human time 
in cutthroat competition to transcend 
performance of death on the global stage.
