Mask of the sad princess floats in the air 
because Phoebus weeps in front of the portrait 
of Mona Lisa on the cavern wall 
which still reflects dynamic disks of shadows 
exposing portals to the multiverse 
where detectives and ballerinas kiss. 

Dipping his hands in the cold river flow, 
Phoebus asks morbid princess of the sea 
to ponder relationships as spirals 
obscuring endless swirls of vibrant waves 
which unravel bitterness of emotions 
entangling puzzles of fraught marriages. 

Wild children leap through space with mental blades 
to fall asleep in bright maze of rose bushes 
where Fear sells comic books as holy scripture 
to astronauts who challenge thunder gods 
for domination of the empty skies 
till we all fall to Earth with crippled wings. 

Strange names Adam invents to symbolize 
personality traits as animals 
reveal eccentric grace of Jupiter 
who recites laws for Noah to record 
since God creates the virtual universe 
by naming objects as formal ideas. 

Gathering lavender from dew-wet fields, 
Phoebus wanders lost through Elysium 
with plan to ask Emzara in her bower 
to marry him before the towers fall, 
but she hurtles her glass tablet computer 
which shatters on the tombstone of her father. 

To study weird physics of global fame, 
grim black-haired daughter of Odin explores 
ghost-haunted forest of the laughing crow 
to evade grand popularity parade, 
but the more she repels insidious pride 
they more it magnets to her iron heart. 

Gripping hammer of Thor with eager hope, 
Phoebus forges the law-sharp sword of justice 
from meteor stone that blazed from the heavens, 
then leads grand army of the free republic 
to overthrow the tyrant on gold throne 
and free financial slaves from psychic debt. 

Though rotary phone on the kitchen wall 
never rings in asylum of the mind, 
Phoebus sits at the table of false dreams 
to arrange fragments of history facts 
with code that shows how empires rise and fall, 
framed by analysis of private jokes.
