While wrestling windy shadows of my mind 
that buzz electric moonlight through my body, 
I sing ethereal sorrow of the sea 
in heart-wrenching melodies of despair 
to highlight beauty of this eerie world 
that shimmers from each object I observe. 

Down distant winding Road of Anywhere 
I run toward stark horizon of desire 
to find beyond bleak nothingness of death 
some perfect meaning framed by creed of faith, 
but float on wings of Icarus I steal 
to wrestle windy shadows of my mind. 

Emerging from cracked dragon egg of fear 
quicker than huge cockroach along my table, 
with Phoenix wings too tangled in phone lines, 
demonic Grendel crouches in my heart, 
wearing golden mask of ironic Jesus 
to offer salvation from propaganda. 

So I shout random concepts in weird spells 
to divert acid attention of Death 
from hidden treasures of my pulsing soul 
which unravel curses of legal discourse 
congealing into propaganda code 
designed to hypnotize with truthful lies. 

Beneath the plum tree in Garden of Eden, 
where John Keats transcribed sweet enchanting song 
of the lonely nightingale with pure verse, 
I attend unruly ghoul of my heart 
to compose divine hymn that transcends truth, 
which expands, rather than converts, the mind. 

With each eccentric verse of sentient spark, 
I sing with mercurial voice of the wind, 
my mind swells glow of consciousness beyond 
bounds of acceptable theology 
to enclose zillions of worlds teeming life 
in unified matrix of the White Whole. 

Transforming from fish of mindless desire 
to observant human measuring objects 
so I can analyze chemical process 
of atoms that construct and destruct forms, 
I evolve from hairless ape to wise god 
who dreams entire bloom of the universe. 

With tight-wrought verses of conceptual truth, 
that wind coiled energy of psychic hope 
to power time-machine of mental flight, 
I record my quest to design world view 
that helps me navigate hostility 
in poems that map my brain ontology.
