House Of Broken Toys

When Jesus calls me on the telephone
to borrow my car I stole from his dad
so he can take Venus to his beach house,
I climb to the mountain peak of world fame
and toss Holy Book in the burning bush,
yet find my mask in house of broken toys.

When Dionysus meets me in glass church
to confess his wish to become a monk
devoted to prayers of self-sacrifice,
I play electric guitar on lit stage
and howl mad wolf-song of the fallen god,
yet find my heart in house of broken toys.

When Apollo hires me to map dire fate
depicting networks of utilities
that provide services to every house,
I fly airplane to Plutonian hills
and bomb the stately dome of Xanadu,
yet find my soul in house of broken toys.

When Jupiter requests I paint his tower
with murals that depict scenes of his life
as chief psychologist of Kingdom Come,
I take Rapunzel home to Avalon
where we live in quaint cottage by the lake,
yet find my mind in house of broken toys.

When Odin grills burgers in parking lots
to feed five thousand refugees from war
who are eager to watch the Super Bowl,
I play violin in the concert hall
while Minerva and Phoebus sing the blues,
yet find my brain in house of broken toys.

When Jehovah steals industrial plans
to build new computer-powered starship
so he can rule the world from Samarkand,
I compose novels of angst-humored man
with old typewriter on shifting sand dunes,
yet find my name in house of broken toys.

When Achilles dresses as Judy Garland
and sings Over the Rainbow with brave voice
that inspires new generation of clowns,
I repair broken lyre of Mercury
displayed inside velvet-lined case of glass,
yet find my skull in house of broken toys.

When Lucifer campaigns around the world
to win our votes as President of Earth
in quest for secret of the Holy Grail,
I construct new radio from bird bones
to chat with Melusine in Oregon,
yet find my ghost in house of broken toys.

Orpheus helps Abraham paint marble statues of gods, lined in the temple of the luminous phantom, with bright colors of the rainbow.
