Frankenstein Of Our Selves

I will never relate confusing tale
of that many-faced man who is not real
because his spirit lingers in all books
as every character singers have formed
from tangled mess of their old memories
that wanders as Frankenstein of our Selves.

No quixotic journey of the brave fool
depicts his existential alienation
through discombobulated experience,
trapped in cultural entropy of faith,
better than his gnostic quest to find
one real self in clutter of his fake selves.

While standing in spotlight of social games
on stage in Theater of the Absurd,
the many-faced man with the Wand of Hermes
declaims Plural Being of the fractured mind
which he assembles in puzzle of tales
with masks scattered in vast Maze of Dead Gods.

If he employs intellectual caprice
to feel himself through his multiple selves,
he might annihilate the private self
to release the Cosmic Self of Ungod
from varied fragments of the diamond egg
which encloses our entire universe.

To analogize transcendence of self,
he detaches mythic mind from his frame
of pulsing flesh that hungers for sweet fruit,
trapped in our disenchanted world of truth,
when he designs new mental surrogate
to bear his soul to Heaven on Word Wings.

Through prerogative of self-sacrifice,
the many-faced man, without wit or wiles,
liberates immortal soul of his genes
from temporary body of his self
to wake divine consciousness of Ungod
in sponge brain of his arrogant respect.

Opposing paradigms of mental states
present outward explosion of one self
that finds all other selves inside oneself,
who inwardly dissolves the mortal self
to pure dream language of the Never Self,
though fraught with contradictions of not-self.

Thus through expressions of the many-self,
driven by paradox of our dream quest,
the many-faced man still seeks to achieve
puzzling serenity of Nothingness
by expanding scope with fullness of Being
till he becomes each self who ever lives.

Orpheus finds all his selves scattered across the multiverse and merges them all into one Cosmic Self of Ungod through enchanting hymn of his aching heart.
