Plagiarize Your Dreams

He cannot help but plagiarize your dreams
with serpentine grace of the alphabet
that leaves corpses of truth in icy streams
seeking resurrection from Baphomet
who plays violin on the hill of skulls
to avoid judgment of the prancing bulls.

While Janice knits pink sweater for the ghoul
Robert puts vinyl record on the player
so they can rage against machine of school
which trains Accountant to be Demon-Slayer
since the Devil wants to eat apple pie
and gaze at sunset blazing in the sky.

If I should measure out play of my life
with anniversaries of dire events
while writing self-help book to manage strife,
then I should vote for honest presidents
who treat our global allies with respect
each time arrogant thieves try to defect.

He pilfers tropes from dreams that you forget
so he can sneer at Hamlet and his seems
while nursing bitter wounds of fake regret
for angels left to die in cruel moonbeams
since ballet dancers express human form
with elegant grace far beyond the norm.

Barely surviving in forest of noise,
he steals eggs from nests of traitorous birds
which breaks his brain in mirror of mute poise,
paralyzed by hope to manage goat herds,
while pretending everyone is his friend
so he can ride the blue snake to the end.

Brain brimming with spiders of diamond shards,
he kneels and asks the girl with bleeding eyes
if she will let him join the castle guards,
but she prefers he join the palace spies
so she can drink wine on the river shore
while her old mother becomes the locked door.

Deciding to marry the anarchist,
she plagiarizes dreams found in the trash,
then participates in the Eucharist,
eager to eat his body burned to ash
despite assurances from the fake king
that she will receive new angelic wing.

He plagiarizes dreams you throw away
with mocking laughter of the tangerine
because you do not know just what to say
when he sells you to son of Melusine,
so if you acknowledge Glycon as God
he will save you from the telephone fraud.

Orpheus decides that no one can be saved except for the girl who gives people better dreams than the ones she steals.
