While strolling down the crowded boulevard, 
she stops and gazes at the giant ad 
of her face smiling with sweet chocolate, 
then watches rain fall upward to the moon 
in strange slow-motion flow of pulsing beams 
with pearl-white eyes of television screens. 

Startled by three starships with rainbow wings, 
she reaches out to touch the turtle-book 
that translates secret language of the flower, 
then considers the sparrow of the field 
which zippers through plastic computer screens 
with tangled syntax of our helpless dreams. 

Oblivious to deeper meaning of faith, 
she ponders code of fading photographs 
that traps our memories in broken frames, 
then sews tapestry of human events 
which imitates legends of divine fools 
who attempt to secure fake wealth by fraud. 

Hard labor confiscates the human heart 
through industrial revolution of greed 
to construct social machine of great wealth 
designed by Mechanic with holy eyes 
who restores piston engine of her heart 
so she imitates wise goddess of truth. 

After rising from muddy grave of faith, 
she sips Tuscan Rosato with calm lust 
to balance citrus taste with honest grief, 
then sells invisible soul of the oak 
embodied by the fractured boat of hope 
which glides along the river of respect. 

Though few remember weirdness of the cat, 
she pets soft fur beside the window pane 
frosted with moon-silver snow of tall pines, 
then laughs at satire that mocks the fake god 
who slouches toward Bethlehem to be born 
with right to rule the half-deserted streets. 

Awake in arboretum of alarm, 
she crouches alert for the eyeless ghost 
who manages archive of human dreams, 
then sells old paper novels on the street 
for money to buy back her violin 
because she aches to play with agony. 

Able to stock books of forgotten dreams, 
she paints surreal images of childhood 
as broker selling memories of the blind, 
then flies airplane across the sea of storms 
to build treehouse in forest of the snake 
who photographs her for style magazines.
