Star Eyes Of My Night

Star Eyes Of My Night

Because she is the star eyes of my night, 
beaming visions of vain hope from her heart, 
I search with hope for algorithmic ways 
to redesign our social narrative 
so we admire perceptive qualities 
of common people struggling to survive. 

The plumber adjusts invisible pipes 
to channel water from the River Styx 
through sink faucet in kitchen of concern 
so I can cook spaghetti on the stove 
with tomato sauce and parmesan cheese 
when we drink wine and ignore falling bombs. 

The workers who repair our broken homes 
with frames of wood and nets of copper wires 
work with their hands to reshape forms of hope 
against oppressive tyranny of words 
stacked by large language models of pride 
so we drive our cars to the grocery store. 

The mechanic tweaks engine of my car 
so gas in combustion chamber explodes 
to power spin the piston engine sparks 
in twirling cycle of aggressive force 
so we zoom fast across map-measured space 
in time machine of legalized control. 

The farmer plows soil with hard dragon bone 
and sows sharp teeth in furrows of mute verse 
so angels and devils both spring with hope 
from field of dreams to colonize the world 
and build vast maze of streets with numbered doors 
where idols of dead gods direct our lives. 

The driver maneuvers delivery truck 
on web of highways sea to shining sea, 
porting raw materials to factories, 
providing merchandise to shopping stores, 
and stocking homes with valuable assets 
where we dwell in domestic quietude. 

The baker gathers wheat that Ceres grows 
to grind grains into flour of secret code 
they program into loaves of fresh-baked bread 
that we eat with fried fish and tartar sauce 
when Jesus preaches Sermon on the Mount 
about caring for homeless immigrants. 

I dream I meet Jesus on signless road 
alive as you and me with pulsing heart, 
so I ask if he will return again soon, 
but he shows how his spirit incarnates 
in leaders who nurture each human being 
through state that gives all freedom to live well.
