her quantum realm

FLIGHT-PATTERN

Hobo retreats to his park bench

on the riverbank... who

he?  The other half of you –

half-man, insufficient mensch

acquainted with the missing hole

of all deracinated souls.

The fever-men, the moles

in Washington... hungry for the dole

of glitz & lucre, hypocritical revenge

for Cain (vain little men

seeking glory in ruin).

Like a swift & mauvais rêve-songe

baseless as those trumped-up towers

Hobo trips his execrable

ghost-dance parable –

a travesty, to fill last hours

verily unto their scarlet brim.

He sees her, off in the distance

beyond the iron bridge.  Trance-

vision of that Liberty (Wisdom)

triumphant in her harbor... crown

upon her brow, torch lifted

overhead, arm hugging tablet

of the law.  Her quantum realm (unknown

Coatliqubits of soul-restoration)

rotates the clay wheel

on its Gateway oracle –

fright transformed into flight-pattern.
