I cannot wait to fill containers with my thoughts and get them shipped away to distant places hidden behind me, Replace them with a new receptacle whose organic sheen will be a beacon to me in this modern darkness Where a metaphor can wander free on a range, and learn to be itself Where new rangers will be hired to scour the tall grass, pull up by the throat any snakes parading as old artifacts Where new worlds will be built, instead of these failed cities, where famine and mighty winds have kept us from our God-given destiny to conquer Where the wrath of God will be our own once more, and all within will be pure and flawless, shining gold with the finest inks from all the land, stones of brotherhood and sisterhood stacked within Where riches wide like Kublai Khan or Charles Foster Kane will stagnate in the basement, gathering more dust for everything we ever duel All the mountains climbing over people when they reach into the sky and scrape the clouds for their sweet milk All the deserts flooded in a moment of inattention The white-hot valleys and dark black peaks enfolded on the canvases of foreign skies, easter-egg shell pieces falling from the stars Skin of great hands clapping down upon the surface of the sea, stinging flesh and splashing sea serpents from the depths onto the shores of shining cities, Where young children seek to fly away, and get lost at the precipice of City life, the streets are shaken, but the people keep on moving, feet unsteady, stumbling along new winding paths leading under basements lain exposed in earthquakes Underground laboratories sheltering themselves in desperation, they don't know when they'll resume their operation Satanic possessions buried with the dead and scorched by signals from the clouds that send them sprawling out beyond the old horizon even further to the new one laying vertically against a field of unencumbered time detached from playing fields where rules define the lives of players and their women Vandalized explosions spreading downward into catacombs where people living in obscurity can see they're just like me and let themselves be herded into tunnels where the darkness is preserved in a more desperate enclosure Anything and everybody naught but deceiving Getting to the lessons of our treacherous evening Watching out for icicles that fall from the ceiling Knowing that our skin will be removed when it starts peeling Taking all the batteries so they can't not believe me Floating all the money down on rafts the beasts are heaving Quicker down the river while the back seat keeps on weaving A believable excuse for the aforementioned deceiving All within the new receptacle which waits for me at home Believing and conceiving of destruction we pretend to know When I reconstruct the audience they'll know and start applauding Now I wile away the time kneading minds in preparation For the grand beginning of my newest exposition Where the many riches of disaster and of history Will stand along with pieces of the funeral we celebrate On every second Monday of the week of New Year's Eve And new cases will be sent along with goodwill from hereafter And together we will party and prevent the next disaster
