Death stares at me each dawn and asks me why 
angels wear faces of humans as masks 
if I lounge on the river stone of truth 
and contemplate strange mystery of this life 
but then forget my name and where I live 
so I sit on gold throne and rule the world. 

Death glares at me from mirror of despair 
though I pay for insurance every month 
so I type novels on pages of glass 
that shatter on busy commercial street 
because church bells never ring anymore 
yet I scatter pennies in parking lots. 

Death laughs at me when I wear business suit 
and drive around suburban neighborhoods 
so I sell lonely housewives magic flute 
that calls the Phoenix of domestic peace 
from wet sponge of the television brain 
who shrieks about the next apocalypse. 

Death tricks me to believe with fervent faith 
huge spider aliens from Jupiter 
in unidentified flying objects appear 
at midnight above the huge stadium 
where demon hunters sing of loyalty 
and weave matrix of music from our dreams. 

Death guides me on the signless road of fate 
across the waste land of my innocence 
where someone walks beside me in the heat 
who seems to know how bridges disconnect 
companions in fight for democracy 
who wander in vast maze of city streets. 

Death drives me every morning at sunrise 
to work in weird library without doors 
where skulls of fools sing arcane prophecies 
which I transcribe on bright computer screen 
to chronicle how empires rise and fall 
at selfish whims of men who think they know. 

Death sneers at me when I recite with grace 
obscene proverbs about marriage of minds 
Eve plucks from Tree of Knowledge to defend 
doctoral dissertation of her research 
on nature of evil cruel men perform 
in vain attempt to evade curse of fame. 

Death asks me to marry her with sweet smile 
so we climb ziggurat of thirteen planes 
where Ishtar binds our hands with chain of love 
that links our hearts with passionate discourse 
when we unite all nations of the world 
in one religion based on Will to Power.
