The Odyssey of We Are Centre
"The Odyssey of We are Centre"
Where does he come through
with his fishing lines?
Casting off metaphors
worms of vitriol
hooked and dipped,
he’s so green backed
rolling in grandiose
self published flack
unhip and seasoned
with his tart rye
swallowed for kicks
pulling deep wisdom
from his shallow
back pocket where
he keeps his pride
of place safe,
pulls it forth
with a flourish,
the most current
colourful topic,
how ironic,
"The Odyssey of
We are Centre",
his certified credential
from the wallet of his
all knowing mind
all seeing eyes
sarcastic smile,
blinking,
I’m a king pin
he scrolls all his
myopic blinds,
fingers touching
lines on the blue screen,
pointing at this one
and that one,
he’s the town crier,
then when all is
put to bed,
he’s commuting
slowly on his own
shadow ride
into light
bareback,
twirling his
lasso,
the Mole
waves
and
smiles;
The astute reader
laughs
and wonders
all the while,
watching him
as his Odyssey
is drawn into his
"Centre of We Are"
anti-clockwise,
vacuum sucked
and sealed for sanitation
and how thoughtful,
for the safety purposes
of others, mind you
enough holes allowed
to sprinkle all his
other sunny devotions,
sisters and brothers,
the devotees drinking
holy spirits
spare the
contaminated water,
he accepts tithes
in all his dry
open boxes
counting "here-here!"
from sunny daffodils
who thrive on planting
sweet smelling roses
while tramping
on shadows with
their golden shovels
and throwing
sweet n sour
candy coated
javelin spears
to crack jokes
at other's
metaphorical
long and short
stemmed posies,
for some light,
while they
ride unicorns and
skip double dutch
with rainbows,
He touts he’s Moses
with his paperback
independent
unprofitable
online gropers,
Parting waters
and cheeks...
chocolate starfish
for smiling;
She winks,
He bellows,
“What fresh hell is this?”
Just like all the others
he’s a moth
he smiles at his own
reflection in his words
while uploading,
he doesn't want to
get too close
he’s looking for
the Light -
he’s transforming
slowly
