Happy in mundane failure of my life 
to play grand role on stage of history, 
safe from glaring spotlight of random fame, 
I gaze in mirror of forgotten masks 
where faces of my ancestors combine 
whole shadow of my soul that glows awake. 

Calm in acceptance of my mundane life 
where I carve prophecies on river stones 
recording who gets cursed by random fame, 
I float in mirror of forgotten masks 
as eight billion humans with dreaming brains 
who enter contest over who plays god. 

Surprised by joy that fountains from my heart 
as surreal vision flashing through my brain 
detailing how to evade random fame, 
I leap through mirror of forgotten masks 
to navigate combat zone of thought mines 
that could explode at misstep of each choice. 

Entranced by beauty of my Mountain Muse 
who gives me crystal sphere of timeless truth 
that maps path I take beyond random fame, 
I swim in mirror of forgotten masks 
with time-animated globe of world history 
evolving from shy fish to singing god. 

Inspired by wisdom of my Honest Spouse 
who tends Garden of Eden with crafty hands 
so Tree of Knowledge blooms with random fame, 
I rise from mirror of forgotten masks 
to build castle of faith on hill of beasts 
where angels sing in choir of tragic loss. 

Nourished by healing fruit of the Dream Tree 
which sprouts from rotten corpse of Jupiter 
to translate selfless love from random fame, 
I bloom from mirror of forgotten masks 
to drive my car to work at flash of dawn 
where I map features of our cluttered world. 

Crazy with passion to understand why 
our bodies of genetic coils are formed 
from atoms swerving against random fame, 
I soar through mirror of forgotten masks 
on wings of Icarus designed by hope 
till I build Heaven in Hell where I fall. 

Amused by complex political games 
ambitious tyrants, driving blind by lust, 
play to gamble so they win random fame, 
I polish mirror of forgotten masks 
so people visiting the Oracle 
may see dire consequence of every choice.
