The slender awkward boy wearing gray suit 
sits pertly alone in front pew of church 
beside busy road in Oregon town, 
and reads passages of sibylline verse 
from book of his favorite prophet Isaiah 
while sunlight gleams in window of his heart. 

When time portal of green flames opens wide, 
he leaps through blank wall on angelic wings 
and finds himself in lush Missouri woods 
driving wagon pulled by the swift white horse 
loaded with rifles for the Promised Land 
to the white church perched high on oak tree hill. 

With silver revolver in leather holster, 
he plays folk songs on polished wood guitar 
where people dance on lawn before the barn 
after feasting on chicken and potatoes 
while black locomotive puffing white steam 
clacks rapidly through fields of golden wheat. 

When Raphael descends from swirling clouds, 
he fires arrow of faith at heart of Venus 
who writhes with anguish of the Weeping Mother 
pushed from the black Mustang by snarling Mars 
who burns rubber tires when he peels away 
while Cochise cradles her in his arms. 

When rain storm flushes broad river with tears 
that flood the city streets with roiling waves, 
Cochise presents raven feather high 
in boat which Orion rows in pouring rain 
to rescue thousands of people with care 
though Thor fires bullets of rage at them all. 

Robotic spotted owl with emerald eyes 
spreads wide assertive wings of gratitude 
to fill his heart with spirit of insight, 
so he grasps crown of world authority 
that falls from head of Jesus on the cross 
while satyrs string phone lines into his brain. 

While Orion in cowboy hat and boots 
herds cows along Ohio River shore, 
Cochise drives long silver limousine 
across the prairie where antelope roam 
to leave computers under Christmas trees 
for all the little children of the world. 

To frame the world as his own paradise 
the slender awkward boy wearing gray suit 
strips naked on the lawn before his church 
and chants recondite spells of psychic truth 
which prophesy fall of America 
till Thor assassinates shaman of faith.
