Lila

I'm spending all my money
on a show of high strangeness
it's not of this world
beyond us, it's theater

and for a stage I didn't
imagine nor anticipate
I've found myself in the act
so I was allowed many tickets

the script is post-postmodernist
and all throughout my past lines
this present verse and again a future time
I watch myself speak beyond the irony

I'm doing my best to focus on the action
underlying the genre, the big picture
although from my stuntman perspective
Hollywood is violent with distractions

and I'm more of a concept
my heart is a rock song
my mind has been made cosmic
and I'm human — which is still comic

is it a paradox I'm expected to live?
as a double, triple, n-dimensional
spy, prop, channel and eye?
yes, for I am now alive beyond life
