Yet Still I Row My Boat

Yet Still I Row My Boat

Glass bridge of laughter questions Game of If 
where nameless people wander distant shores 
with plans to steal new souls from grocery stores 
who vanish in strict mirror of the cliff, 
yet still I row my boat past paradise 
because important things should have no price. 

Electric lightbulb of the smiling sun 
sends garbage trucks to take lost memories 
discarded by housewives with broken keys 
who seek salvation of the holy gun, 
yet still I row my boat past Eden tress 
where angels give math books to chimpanzees. 

Life is the angel wearing mirror mask 
to work for advertising companies 
with clients selling psychic clarities 
to robots who refuse to do the task, 
yet still I row my boat past libraries 
where demons work for social charities. 

Brave butterflies of pencils with nine brains 
flock merrily around sly Mercury 
who teaches jesters art of jollity 
who prance at midnight in honey-gold rains, 
yet still I row my boat past empty church 
where Cinderella continues vain search. 

Trapped by strict duties of proud happiness, 
where horses of the king eat grass of gold, 
my father shows me how to dream-unfold 
airplane wings above Sea of Nothingness, 
yet still I row my boat past apple groves 
where wives of senators slave at hot stoves. 

Despite sincerity of obvious love 
that cripples crow of Heaven with false faith, 
I formulate how God is stellar wraith 
that conjures worlds with psychometric shove, 
yet still I row my boat past matrix schools 
to learn how primates invent farming tools. 

Since fatal geographies of state power 
provide framework for tyrants to play god, 
brave blacksmiths disarticulate the fraud 
with guidance from Rapunzel in her tower, 
yet still I row my boat past bombed-out homes 
to watch gods wrestle in glass thunder domes. 

Conceptual language of the creditor 
reframes the meaning of life we employ 
to reconstruct the sacred halls of Troy 
based on project designed by Lucifer, 
yet still I row my boat past gates of Hell 
to gather dream runes from the serpent well.
