My Existence, My Life
My existence is a bullet shuttle weaving through creativity's loom,
Back and forth and back, with dizzying insistence,
A flawless continuity of rain-drop-steady momentum
Dripping on imagination's rooftop, under a hovering harvest moon
That knows not how to illuminate my deepest dreams
Without them reaching critical mass, in my psyche's reactor,
Exploding my frontal lobes' mainframe computers.
If truth be told, disclosed, exposed for what it really is —
A sham, a fraud, a snake-oil Ponzi scheme,
A Teapot Dome/Whitewater ruse, a Wall Street derivatives scam,
Meant to swindle the entire globe of its middle-class wealth,
Once it's ripped off the planet's pants, hung it upside down, naked —
My life consists of little more than nothing less
Than the loss of goods bought and sold below a lost cause's cost.
In other words, my life disappeared into thin, derivative air
Dozens of long-gone long years ago,
When what I believed was dripping rooftop rain from a harvest moon
Capable of awakening my Pentium 8½ imagination,
My plutonium-240 brain's bullet-shuttle loom-womb,
Rose high inside the dreams above my mind's clear black sky,
Only to detonate them, in a fit of unilluminated, apocalyptic fallout.
