Speed Of My Soul

To keep up with the weird speed of my soul
I stop before the television screen
before it teleports me through all time
so I can understand how people feel
about quartz angels in the rolling stone
that leads refugees from war in the gloom.

To calculate the strict speed of my soul
I map crazy roads through the Underworld
where my ancestors walked before my birth
so I can open brand new store in Hell
repairing computers rancid with mold
that oozes with oil polluting the firth.

To analyze the fake speed of my soul
I ask the mountain man with jewel eyes
for hidden secret of the universe
but all that Cronus is willing to tell
is why sweet blueness attributes the skies
with subtle reference to the holy curse.

To randomize the quaint speed of my soul
I spin the Wheel of Fortune to test fate
against all outcomes augured by bird flight
with bold assertion of my mental will
to rule the world from secret river boat
through sad tunes I play on dragon-bone flute.

To overcome the stalled speed of my soul
I build new piston-engine of desire
to channel spirit of aggressive hope
when I drive chariot of Ezekiel
roaring down the highway to Zathamar
past the desert station where gas is cheap.

To allocate the force speed of my soul
I meditate in cave of shadow plays
where Plato eats fruit of Persephone
to prove that our world is slow-spinning ball
when I record hymns sung by the world muse
to express my psychic epiphany.

To ride far on the true speed of my soul
I write script for weird television shows
depicting how people perceive themselves
as most important person on the hill
when we play capture the flag through world maze
in tribal contest between Bears and Wolves.

To chase love with the wise speed of my soul
I remove persona mask of my being
to reveal my true self on stage of faith
when Apollo crowns me with his laurel
and Icarus repairs my wounded wing
till I become conceptual Poet Wraith.

Orpheus plays lyre of Mercury and sings magic spells with the poetic speed of his soul to enchant the world with visions of the truth.
