Untethered twirl of emotional glide 
accelerates my soul beyond fake bounds 
of social convention that holds me down, 
because I spring high from book where I hide 
secret fears with glass skeletons in mounds 
on which the lost worship the haughty clown. 

Unchained ocean waves of obvious truths 
we dare not speak as taboo of the heart 
wipe vast metropolis of gleaming towers 
off face of the Earth with soul-cleansing baths 
since commercial empire is based on cart 
from which the lonely girl sells pretty flowers. 

Untricked by preacher of the fallen god 
to believe that each person is unique, 
we search for ancient sword Excalibur 
as magic weapon buried in the sod 
so we can fight the conman and his clique 
who wears the stolen mask of Jupiter. 

Uncivilized by tyranny of cash 
that drives fierce engine of global commerce, 
we fight new civil war of thought control 
to wear crown of thorns retrieved from the trash 
based on description of the universe 
designed by savior hung on the phone pole. 

Uncaged by law of Goddess Liberty 
with commission to bear the Torch of Truth, 
Minerva runs barefoot in the waste land 
to escape agents of security 
while pregnant with our new messiah sleuth 
destined to rule Earth with his red right hand. 

Unpuzzled petroglyph on Stone of Scone 
depicts First Mother of the Human Race 
when she emerges from the Lake of Dreams 
and plays haunting tunes on flute of bird bone 
then wears golden mask over pock-marked face 
when she performs in Theater of Seems. 

Uncrowned as honest Emperor of Earth, 
I ride White Horse of Justice down the street 
through parade to celebrate victory, 
then analyze what everything is worth 
which I list on the clay-tablet spreadsheet 
as world-traveling man of mystery. 

Unlocking stolen mask of Jupiter, 
I climb huge pyramid of the God-Eye 
so I can understand the human heart 
which follows path devised by Lucifer 
because we choose our fate by asking why 
we must blindly conform to our star chart.
