Zeus chases shadow of the ragged clown 
down foggy beach of sorrow to the town 
where children play with skulls of ancient gods 
whose bodies regenerate in glass pods 
so time-cycling war between Dark and Light 
recalculates morals of Wrong and Right. 

Phoebus beams shadow of the ragged clown 
with holy flashlight of the eyeless saint 
while mapping Cave of Illusions to find 
ghost of Plato molding Ideas from words 
through linguistic psychology of truth 
though Venus dances with the tambourine. 

Odin twists shadow of the ragged clown 
with ardent wisdom of serpentine runes 
that flash psychotic spells of fractured moons 
above vast city maze where people roam 
between conceptual bridges beyond home 
till he grasps Wheel of Fortune with the crown. 

Shamash weaves shadow of the ragged clown 
with diamond scepter on the ziggurat 
from which he rules world empire of the bat 
that flourishes Egypt to Mexico 
where millions dance around Star Eye of God 
in world wide web of computerized brains. 

Hat-Hor casts shadow of the ragged clown 
in neon rainbow demon of our hearts 
that arches high from Pyramid of Eyes 
to urge Coatlicue in serpent skirt 
to welcome refugees with fruitful hands 
who build world empire on her singing skull. 

Nuwa grasps shadow of the ragged clown 
that glitters from five jewels of Blue Sky 
as pillars that support star dome of gods 
so we plant wheat and herd rich flocks of sheep, 
then feast and dance with spinning of the Earth 
through secret ritual of Spirit Rebirth. 

Surya hurls shadow of the ragged clown 
to woo Xochiquetzal with honey wine 
who teaches women to weave tapestries 
depicting deeds of heroes in grand scenes 
unspooling social tensions with new faith 
to balance liberals and conservatives. 

Shiva dreams shadow of the ragged clown 
sparks atoms awake as God in our brains 
so we assemble on the misty down 
in rainbow gathering of all global tribes 
who celebrate birth of America 
by building new state of Zarathia.
