Lady In Waiting

6-3-06 The Story of True Love

Hell is loaded with false
commercials. A veneer of
cosmetically engineered smiles.
Everything is wrapped &
coated over to deter the
senses from true knowledge.
Even the cars lie: they were
composed by men after all &
they have people inside them
that tell a different story from
that of the calm smooth metallic
epidermis of shining gods.
The people spat on the goddess
& poured more concrete for
sidewalks & cemeteries &
parking lots for the next batch
of stores & malls & morons.
Everybody was preparing for
The War---The Big One that
would eviscerate The Whole
World & bring this mess of
sprawling protoplasm to heel
once and for all. In the meantime
The Princess of Beauty slept in
glass every night dreaming of
her True Love in his bunk alone
by the smiling sea.
