If she thinks about it with special care 
Artemis will remember why she cries 
when angels descend the ziggurat stair 
and trick her lover with appalling lies 
while Thor is busy paving country roads 
in vain attempt to control divine toads. 

Somebody always tries to kill the swan, 
despite federal laws protecting her soul, 
that escapes Cave of Tuonela at dawn 
and teaches children how to set strong goals 
so they achieve the American Dream 
if they can unite in heart-bonded team. 

People vote for the simple-minded clown 
who poses by red tractor in the field 
while upholding values of the small town 
depicted on lost Achillean shield 
that hangs now in Museum of Fake Art 
which is very dear to my wealthy heart. 

The new apartment complex by the mall 
fills up with renters from the lower class 
who hang paintings of Elvis on the wall 
and pray earnestly when they attend mass, 
but harsh social critiques are out of line 
so Juvenal takes Sappho out to dine. 

Though few regret fall of our empire state 
because they cannot see morals dissolve, 
I swipe card to open neighborhood gate 
so I can study how primates evolve 
from hunter-gatherers to nationalists 
who must oppose global imperialists. 

Through random concepts of the Language Game 
humble wizards of academia 
worship grandson of Oedipus the Lame 
who crowns himself King of Arcadia, 
after Frankenstein resurrects his soul, 
yet hides as notorious internet troll. 

When Artemis returns home on the plane 
from her home on the other side of Earth, 
she finds Thor has dispelled her psychic bane. 
so she marries him in church, and gives birth 
to Sisyphus who runs for President, 
though he fails to become more confident. 

The American Dream was never real 
except as shining Lamp of Liberty 
who tries to help us build a better world 
where no one lives in fear of poverty, 
so we eat hamburgers at festivals 
while recreating truth with mental tools.
