Despite stark woe of Wednesday afternoon, 
that scatters oak leaves on the lonely lawn, 
I hide strange sorrow in river-smooth rock 
when I record tragic tales in the book 
that walks around town acting mean and tough 
in his clever way that makes people laugh. 

Young girl in black lace dress of formulas 
contrives new spells of potent psychic keys 
that conjure visions of apocalypse 
to trace aggressive crimes on bloody maps 
so she can bring true justice to the world 
through tactics employed by the cosmic herald. 

False attribution of unfalling rain 
defines inherent strangeness of our plan 
to disentangle meaning from old words 
reflecting mental concepts in dream shards 
which should unpuzzle how we invent truth 
to circumvent authority through myth. 

Considered too regressive for wealth games 
by devils who chant solemn hymns with drums, 
our views of math psychology express 
complex techniques of systematic loss 
eroding confidence we share at death 
which shatters clear illusion of frank faith. 

No recipe based on weird principles 
could fool purveyor of attentive bells 
better than the teenage witch I love 
who paints history of mankind in sea cave 
where prophet of regret sells glamourous hope 
to angels who record it all on tape. 

Veiled by cute aphorism mothers quote 
with formulaic canon devils write, 
my pulsing heart requires time-stable role 
for measurement of thoughts that could be real, 
yet ghosts of television rise reborn 
to redesign doctrines our children learn. 

We choose to question what our eyes perceive 
so rumors proffering lies would seem to save 
bitter-poisoned people abused by greed 
since Anubis weighs our hearts to find good 
that motivates intention to construct 
global world view based on verified fact. 

Ghost of the horse my mother gives to me 
appears from glow cloud of the godless sky 
to bear my sorrow swift across vast steppes 
where I rule on pyramid of Cheops 
as stoic emperor of Nowhere Land 
that exists only in my fractured mind.
