If I am to be the new Faust & heir to Adam,
here I stand over this shallow world of water
& sand; raising fire from the mist, something
has to burn; the heat is too great; the mighty
pressures of space are themselves mere ripples
along the edges of a shallow dish; our science
has gone beyond our perception - we no longer
see the things before us but the several events
leading up to & away from this moment; ( )
( ), ( ), ( ) , ( )
time is a whisper that shatters space with ( )
I am no Prometheus; I bring u nothing;
I am no Christ, tell the cops to **** w/ -s
someone else; Barabbas! Barabbas!
I'm not the Buddha honestly, I fell asleep;
no maniacal devil rules my heart;
it would be cool if it did - but, no;
Not if I am to be the new Faust & heir to Adam
if I am to surviv e beyond th e
mist I will need a New Eve; a
new kind of woman; femal e
nonetheless; motherly but youn g;
no i nfant birthing infants but
sainted & nubile waiting for
Jesus if that's what it takes; ******
won't do I've concluded; I need
a girl w/ principles & morals
as I have none to speak of;
