Underworld Of Happy Clowns

Stuck in dark underworld of happy clowns,
Achilles buys soda from time machine
that always asks him if he feels all right
because blind ballerina never frowns
though arrogant Ares is always mean
about taxing us for using sunlight.

Amid mounting evidence of regret,
Achilles rides the happy dinosaur
to temple of radiant uranium
while he plays keyboard with fake alphabet
so we remember long-forgotten lore
by selling us land in Elysium.

Stuck in happily-ever-after land,
Achilles wears strange uniform of pride
to prove negotiation skills are good
when ships wreck on the wild Oregon strand
through infinite laugh on the playground slide
since foxes play chase in the misty wood.

Latest fashion of potential success,
Achilles ponders with fire of his mind,
prevents sweet summer romance of despair
to stop his thunderstorm of happiness
from cracking stone walls Apollo designed
with arguments for why God does not care.

Stuck in refrigerator of brave faith,
Achilles augurs no calamity
through leagues of silent forest, canopied
by steel beams welded into web of truth,
to sell confusion based on vanity
though he pretends to know the Nicene Creed.

Voluminous brain vital for regrowth,
Achilles claims Cleopatra conceals
when bankers buy our foreclosed properties,
shapes its own fate with inaudible oath
based on cognizance of electric wheels
that disavow empire atrocities.

Stuck with bland ultimatum Death decrees,
Achilles catches snowflakes with bruised hands
to dance with glee at permanence of death,
contrived by speedometer of glass bees
so he can use his psychedelic glands
to free Sibyl from cage of wordless breath.

Vague outlines of clouds that imagine us,
Achilles sketches in sand with cracked bones,
express consistent energy of joy
because we choose to ride Hadean bus
from Oslo to Paris with rolling stones
though my ghost still dwells in palace of Troy.
