Unclock Of Atomic Fate

While Rapunzel in glass tower of mirrors
calls to the angel falling from the sky,
Gawain leaps on meaningless legs of love
to catch the neutered wolf of Arkansas
because this life is still unbearable
for children on the Dnipro River shore.

Still clutching unclock of atomic fate,
Rapunzel evades Death for many years
while dancing awkward ballet gracefully
in supple swirls of humble hurricane
which hopes to tend flowers of holy faith
that bloom from corpses of forgotten gods.

Alert to strict analysis of waves,
Rapunzel wonders why oceans of faith
leave her soul stranded in the greenless room
with phone of supernatural intelligence
while she waits for messiah of world peace
who never returns from the lonely moon.

Whenever Rapunzel tells her nine sons
to scorn the casual randomness of death,
they play game of baseball with the Muses
in the long-neglected graveyard of kings
who rise as zombies on election night
since Lucifer campaigns for President.

When Apollo, eating burgers and fries
at the Gearshift Grille on Route Sixty-Six,
calls Rapunzel with the news that she won
the Nobody Prize of World Literature,
she tells him she is singing with the wind
while wandering hills of Iceland before dawn.

Clutching marble face of Endymion,
Rapunzel kisses him with ardent lust,
and whispers she will steal him from that witch,
Selene, runway model at the Louvre,
then removes glass mask of her personhood
so tender shoots sprout with greenness of love.

While we are young and brimming with desire,
we make love with the stranger in the woods
and generate wild children of the heath
who build great empires with machines of grief,
but, Rapunzel grins at Endymion,
we still die and dissolve to swirls of dust.

As the world law-enforcement officer,
Rapunzel prosecutes in Justice Court
brute thief who dismantles democracy
when he demands the Laurels of World Peace,
arrested by Gawain on Christmas Eve,
then she lies down by the ocean to die.

Orpheus fixes the Unclock so it can again calculate human fate based on the choices we make within parameters of possible outcomes based on frame of death.
