Wonder woman at your new found wings alive with enthusiastic quiverings though untested and quite untried they leave you uncertain and terrified of their awesome height but do not let them fold in fright before they display the nature of things For laughter drifts lightly on the winds of change that can make the mighty break and the meek bow and bend but serve also to send the swirling snowflake on a search that may never end through storms of influence that toll the liberty bells feathers unruffled by consequence they bear you where the eagle | dwells still you must pilot your flights of fancy for to be herald of dawn and soul will depend on how you control the course of your itching independency | |||

Release me O freedom lift your heavy hand before my life and liberty become supply and demand Cease dead drum your destined beat that manifest march binds my feet to the rutted roads where the rich retreat Give peace to the tattered flag that muddy politicians drag feigning noble honesty to protect their selfish tyranny Pipe a dirge affluent fife for the land impaled on this twin edged knife Freedom, flag, fife and drum what new symbols | have you become now that justice is deaf and dumb And the Statue waits for the skies to clear as the lonely eagles disappear pursued on steel wings by the scavengers of fear | |||

From the Sewers of Society blossom the flowers of humanity Believe Buddha, question Socrates scrutinize Jesus They will tell you that rich men are ever in a paradox of paradise and hell and poor men become president But you cannot comprehend this It puzzles you, for you are middle class You dine on the stale crumbs of the rich man's wisdom and act, vicariously happy on the commands of the poor Sleep well the live long night in your sanitary cess pool where high and low are digested to form fertilizer for the newborn and starving You are not despised, | We seek your ignorance as the seed of innocence We crave your tastelessness to find the spice of life We are you illegitimate children the weeds in your well tended garden We love you and all you need do is pluck your pride from us | |||

A saffron sunrise chafes the city an inner urban exile wheels his vehicle down the streets the jigaboo jivers jockey and jostle on the corners to taunt him daily he must survive this jarring jaunt down the gauntlet of concrete Is it worthwhile to arrive enervated but alive at a job that will rob him of his victory and bore him off to sleep? | ||

A soggy fog is soaking up the harbor the sloppy swells are laboring groggily toward the shore On the beach into the tavern the mist is reaching carving a cavern from the clouded door A smoky fog is settling on the bar there The already soggy seamen are soaking up their stout A muffled fog horn bleats and they labor to their feet sloppy and stumbling they splash into the street where the world is waiting woozy both inside and out | ||

White eyes eater of the road runner on the lane White eyes, dry in snow and rain burden beast for the pampered load White eyes count them in the night straining for the amber goal White eyes bright with sightless light growing beyond control White eyes breathing flame belching scentless death White eyes erotic on the screen White eyes is a sex machine White eyes obeys its other head White eyes idling White eyes dead | |||||

Crowds humming with auditory hallucinations hoping all will accept their conceptual visual mirages or at least pretend that the consensus of laudatory convictions is mutually estimable Global village idiots dutifully and amiably awed by the depth and breath involved in their flawed fleece of perception smear the smooth salve of rhetoric on all our lips to render us mute and docile but intrinsically leprous and abhorrent to our own touch O where are the | lipless salveless silent saviors who will raise the resisting leaden arms of the supplicants There must be some among the many kins of mannikins who are unarmed Anoint their feet that they may be footloose suffer them abuse so that we are buffered from the recluse Blacken the innocent's eyes that we may have supervision but above all, soothe us that we may be blissful in our obliquity | |||

Tunnels of love labyrinths of dreams islands in the streams and gulfs of wanderlust history's naked runners breathe empty gusts from the funnels' eye in the bullet-gray, silverblanc, satin sky and dash down boulevards of steel yardsticks fleeting spectres that rouse the shredded flag of curiosity avoiding the visas, the tricks of the vanquished void observatories of the sly and the lax leaping over the ghetto glutted gutters to enjoy relief at the utter oblivion of the chainless Yet, of what ever is gained there | is left no track for it is painless Heroes and hermits all the same appear queer, cunning and thin for their odd old custom of repasting with only the cream of the crop While we unscrupulously win and devour those at the top Towers of force vestiges of virginity the last bloody natural resource placated and pastured, pampered with kingdom and helpless horse Maiden-heads, figureheads, deathsheads flowerbeds breeding frustrated nomadic doughboys that chase the migrating pie in the sky | |||

There is a core of fluid molten matter beneath this thin crust which we trust to provide us with butter (tread lightly lest the bread of earth crumble) and beneath a mere whiff of wind a variety abounds that astounds us with incredible intricacies In the time it takes to think to blink we have hurtled and spun in a span so swiftly that the distance would girdle this fly-speck globe Surrounded as we are by nothing and all things blank, burning and buried in ink yet in our inevitable circling circumstance so vastly vulnerable to chance | we are advancing toward a star which is retreating from a star and all are fleeing from somewhere whose center is obscurity what a poor small joke is security What an enormously easy task is happiness to fly into the arms of any orb whose very core is all absorbing heat whose shore is deadly white light How infinitesimal even inconceivable by comparison is the tiny mistake or more correctly the natural blunder that could erase us from the universe And what is worse, is that we are equally capable of doing it ourselves | |||

Sail with truth on a constant course Let love be your youth Let life be its force Maintain your mind for in time you will find that you are the mainstay of Man You are the wheel within the race so in turn you feel the lack of space that crowds your creativity with the useless activity of building a monument to man So trust your strength flex your sight and then, at length ascend the human height surpassing elder destinies | surmounting earthly capabilities for you are the mountain of man Rejoice in your wisdom and forget your name this throne's not our kingdom Eve's apple was just a game Our spirit will survive if your thought stays alive | |||

We are high sky gliders the simple siders We make daring deciders out of everyone Beware the weather that freezes the feather and tightens the tether to the reality hiders who spin lies like spiders hoping to hold you down If we all tug together we'll loose the leaden leather that makes our smile a frown An being sunshine striders no blind backsliders ride the first rising star out of town | ||
