Well as expected, when the heat broke
The storms began and the intelligent
Mess of flesh and electricity began
Hurricaning on the fake old statues
He dips his pen in dust and begins
To write the history of humanity
The blood and stone; a sea of sand
And those spirits living within -
Animated with bright, sacred fiction
Lessons taught through greatness:
Don't eat fish far from the coast
Sleep by the animals, don't lie with them
Care for the weak, be just and listen
But he does not listen - not to the dust
The man snores in the arms of the icons
Knocking his Buddha alarm clock
From the bedside table, it rings out
OM into a troubled noon
