Mission To Play Clockward

Floating formless in alphabetized wind
with stringent arrogance of morbid laughter,
I map bluffed apertures of my fake mind
to guard peach pie of my celestial daughter
who assures me she show knows how to perform
unexpected code through cuneiform.

Asking how our bodies are born seems gauche
but Jesus always makes it seem so awkward
because my character is still ebauche
despite my holy mission to play clockward
if my soulmate says I am sinister
since I choose to become world minister.

Without angel wings I am more adroit
at building boats with glass hands of the jester
who defies oligarchs when they exploit
objective ambition of the beast-master
who trains his daughter to be dexterous
though she thinks no state can be prosperous.

With crystal eyes I know I cannot lose
through fraught calculation of sincere passion
disguised as fractal ballet of the rose
which inspires me to go against the fashion
and play Light-Bearer role of Lucifer
who defies tyranny of Jupiter.

Born to always play the wise scullion
who never escapes crystal walls of Heaven,
I organize our world rebellion
with wise direction of the Silver Raven
who teaches me the method used to save
mankind from laughing demon in the cave.

Too clever to win with the wizard card,
that illustrates well the human condition,
when I accept Minerva as my ward,
I harmonize tumult of god ambition
against better judgment of the Blind Queen
who demands I design her time machine.

Looking for another mirror to break
through psychic anguish of the sordid circle,
I wear glass mask of the angelic freak
who prophesies American debacle
erased from history by the famous scribe
who buys insurance for our Dream Archive.

Make me your lyre tuned to the ocean flood
that tones each flushed season with solemn humor
so I hover over your world and brood
to escape celebrity of fame glamour
that curses impetuous souls with fate
to play the Fisherman instead of bait.
