Time To Wake As The Earth

Time to round the building corner of fate
and ask the blind man in swan-feather cape
how children are reborn from sticks and stones
based on fake legends in old leather tomes
stolen from libraries by bitter trolls
who cannot find humans without weird souls.

Time to ride the rocket ship beyond fate
in dream trip captured on celluloid tape
long before angels had all left the Earth
to animate concept of the light word
tangled with emotions of gods in rooms
who play tragic lovers to jolly tunes.

Time to escape glass labyrinth of homes
constructed from code of dinosaur bones
despite commitment to holy crusade
contrived by bankers to monetize faith
because mad jester crowns himself world king,
proposing marriage to the skating rink.

Diana drives red Volkswagen at dawn
in splatter of rain from the Bible psalm
on crowded highway in large Texas town
with her son destined to play prophet clown,
who thinks about his bike with demon wings
despite how often the telephone rings.

Time to prove bent-space formula correct
by dream wizards from the Adventist sect
who worship sorcerer of butterflies
to calculate thought-twist of the next phase
we humans must dream-travel to evolve
with romantic tension lovers resolve.

Time to play honest game of chess with Death
in effort to translate what the tree says
about proper etiquette on the wood path
where we wrestle shadow of the pop quiz
before we build our house upon the sand
this shifts word dunes to redesign the land.

Time to grow up and become the adult
who sells secret prophecies of the cult
about Tzatziki-flavored kettle chips
that Jesus and Achilles share on trips
to explore landscape of Greenland with hope
humans will soon find peaceful ways to cope.

Dionysus searches for quiet spot
away from distraction of money games,
and listens to breath of planes among clouds
when obligations bluster past in wind,
knowing we decay as Self vanishes
at death just in time to wake as the Earth.

Orpheus calculates the time it takes for humans to evolve from fish to wingless angel, and how much longer to evolve into gods.
