| Didactus Proclaimeth:
Like a mirror shattered into countless fragments The jagged, incongruent edges of each individual human Refract the sacred light of ethereal Being through mundane imperfection Our species an endless hall where illusion reigns and truthful glimmers go nearly unnoticed
Nonetheless, such collective folly does not actually negate life's underlying sanctity Godliness is next to us during every given moment if we can only bypass Ego That pitiable byproduct derived from religious and sociological brainwash Our peril inadvertently handed down via well-meaning predecessors
This vicious cycle must be broken!
People, may your poets serve as prophets in an age devoid of soul For they're often secret heralds who portend a brave new world Where the balance between materialism and mysticism thrives Our single shards conglomerated into an iridescent prism
Let not these hours pass idly, given to spectacle or speculation Clutch the stars themselves and dare to reorganize this universe So that instead of lamenting over how pathetic their ancestors were Our descendants might look up with beaming pride at novel constellations
Thus hath Didactus spoken!

| Ella Es CampeonaThere's a woman from tomorrow living among us nowadays Who can't help being appalled by our backwards kind of ways
With one hand she rocks the cradle of all single motherhood While the other raises fist against phallocentric patriarchy At her feet, a burning Bible, lest madam be misunderstood For indeed she has arrived to redefine "equality"
In the future whence she comes humans have outgrown primal need Procreation still occurs - though only through true and pure affection Otherwise men aren't so eager to spread their vital seed And ladies are none too keen on receiving its injection
You may think that's how things already are But libidinal tension belies friendship between genders We've simply not advanced very far Or else why such strife, games, players and pretenders?
Tomorrow's woman is here to teach us new ways to relate However, her compassion makes her overly polite - yet she would surely love to state:
"Sisters, quit giving up your dreams to support overgrown boys Sex ought to be divested of subversive, male overtones Don't demean yourself by becoming just another of their toys Cast off the shackles of subservience, disregarding any groans
Being a mother doesn't mean your life should fall into decadence There's no excuse for sacrificing personal goals or identity Raise that child with an independent female radiance And let not your happiness depend upon matrimony!"
Of course men are left perplexed because we can hardly comprehend That to pave roads to real equality the ground must first be cleared This one who stands before you can see what's coming 'round the bend Brothers please have some trust - it is nothing to be feared!
The women of tomorrow grow more beautiful each year Since they are forced to wait for yesterday's men to disappear . . .

| The Interloper
Seen only by other cats He slips through the shadows At most ungodly hours
Spewing green vapor down alleyways And deserted parking lots But with nostrils aimed upward Inhales light from heaven
A denizen of darkness Not quite one species or another Camouflaged by gaps in the common continuum
Trees speak to him as do rocks and bodies of water Inscribing mankind’s sins upon his mind For they recognize a missing link Who yearns to exhort:
Skip one step in evolution Dare to cross this burning bridge Before its embers are dispersed beyond retrieval
Anachronistic friend, join those few atop the ridge! | | |
| Litany To Her Majesty Let me drink from the pure waters of your river This can't just be a mirage midst my desert Nothing ever happens by accident We're actually castaways Washed up on fated shores So escape to my island Where sunbeams I radiate Can reach out toward your lunar complexion And may it be that whenever our tongues intertwine This glorious moment shall wax eternally Reflecting us among the oceanic waves of cosmic memory | | |
| Twilight Language
Somewhere along the illimitable span of my Being - I - the great serpent became acutely aware of my own resplendent plumage. Wrapped up in fractal-rainbow wings / was preoccupied with "self" / placed eyes on all my scales / admired my every contour from myriad angles. Vigilant in vanity.
During those nights an obscuration hid the moon from our plain sight. Its absense calling one's attention to the studded firmament above. Yet echoing within the fibers of any sentient soul. Offsetting limited views as its tremors pulsated through both inner and outer space. Thus this serpent rose amid that sound which is unstruck. Thousandfold ascent!
Asking: who is it that passes by, sowing furtive expectations? Down corridors of dark regret / hope tunnels toward redemption / Eros no more a slave to Psyche / foam on wavelengths of vibration. Time may be a desert and we might be but stones - nonetheless - let it be known that these sands absorb the sun just like the sea swallows its shoals. Awareness, self-illumined at all depths.
