Ennui Of Word Punks

If the rotting corpse of myopic clouds
eats rotten grain and rusty screws with zest,
white horses may attach clocks to gateways
when spiders call their comrades to take arms
against aggressive ennui of word punks
who stagger drunk in dream-polluted smog.

After wandering the Earth for six thousand years
on separate roads of frantic destiny,
Adam and Eve meet again in the garden
that has turned into the desert of fear
where skulls of gods with television eyes
recount the endless wars mankind has fought.

Kissing with ardent lust of ocean waves
that shatter ancient cliffs of dynasties,
Adam and Eve gaze at each other long
with aching sadness of heartless surprise,
then sit together under the dead tree
that once provided Man with fruits of wisdom.

Eating mushrooms ravens bring them from caves,
Adam and Eve lounge in the Vatican
to share the stories of their endless journey,
how he went west and she went east to circle
our spinning sphere and build enormous empires
which they rule as immortal vampire gods.

Reaching out her hand with anguished respect,
Eve watches the curious hummingbird
explore arcane secrets of the white orchid
from which swirl faceless ghosts on frantic wings
of iridescent anger to seek truth
exploding from the radio of mad seers.

Wind blows her long hair tangled in her mask
as Eve walks winding country road of bitterness
that shimmers silver with repressive pain
while huddling in long coat against cold rain
as spray from the passing car of bleak fate
drenches her soul that becomes shrieking crows.

Bringing loaded gun hidden in his jacket,
Adam shuffles into college classroom
to teach world literature to business majors,
analyzing the folk songs of Bob Dylan
within the framework of social poetics
in satires of Persius and Juvenal.

Government agents kick down classroom door
and drag Adam away in steel handcuffs,
then lock him in the concentration camp
hidden in jungle of El Salvador
where he preaches gospel of poetry
in sacred scripture of Octavio Paz.
