Golden Apple Eris Threw

If I could but teleport anywhere
when my heart beats frantic with fear of death,
then I would visit soulmate of my heart
though she lives on the other side of Earth,
so in domestic quietude of love
we may embrace in garden of respect.

If no celestial light may inward shine
and through divinity of weird insight
irradiate my mind with ancient truth,
then I would record in conceptual spells
ideal social state fair laws should support
against which oligarchs forever fight.

If I may reconstruct this broken world
on noble principles of honest hope
that could heal damaged hearts of wounded souls,
then I would foil with repetitious tricks
greedy thieves that hijack our government
and free humanity from psychic debt.

If I escape loud television shows
on fierce angelic wings of Icarus
with brave intent of courage to oppose
cruel tyrants seeking to enslave mankind,
then I would drive my car to work at dawn
to map progress of human ardency.

If I hear song of brave Persephone
reverberate through halls of government
about her plan to free the human heart,
then I would walk bright Paris streets at dawn
to find the Golden Apple Eris threw
so I can choose Athena as my bride.

If I could step in the same river twice
to measure ceaseless flow of mental change
and map configuration of dream time,
then I would build bronze monument to truth
to share with Heraclitus chocolate milk
and ginger cookies in the Parthenon.

If I could spin fate by the ticking clock
that rewinds code of human history
which proves my crazy theory true at last,
then I would play role of new Thunder God,
vulnerable to emotional compassion,
while Phoebus plays organ in the glass church.

If I should hear the dead speak my new name
with mountain-echo voice of Raven Ghost,
then I will strum lost lyre of Mercury,
and sing while Empire of America
burns from pillage of cruel oligarchs
when the White House sinks in mud of contempt.

Orpheus picks up the Golden Apple he finds on the ground and gives it to Athena while she is analyzing new social policies designed to grow the world economy.
