Warping out of sub-space
somewhere in the near cosmic clouds
I saw a sign that read:
Want to attain cosmic freedom?
You must kill your creator!

My heart skipped a beat or two
thinking I’d programmed my trajectory wrong
and ended up on Hell’s highway
but there was no burning sulphur
and no grinning demons with pitchforks –
just the usual flag people
in gaudy reflective vests –

So, I thought - must be cosmic graffiti
but it was too well done, too professional
and with a trademark logo to boot.
Had to be for real.  And I wondered:
kill my Creator?  Why?

Why not?  Said the Voice
Who are you?  I said
and how’d you get aboard this ship?
I’ve always been here... this is my ship.
Can’t be.  This is interstellar cruiser Suave
(from Earth, if you must know)
and it belongs to my family.

Well, yes, of course it does.
That’s why I’m on it; why it’s mine.
I’m you, idiot.  Why don’t you ever listen?
Me?  What am I doing here... I mean –
Oh, never mind.  What’s with killing God?

Who said anything about killing God?
The sign did.  You did.
I did not.  I did ask a rhetorical question
somewhat on the subject.
But the sign said nothing about God
it said, oh, just read back the tape.

Let me make it short and sweet for you –
and you’d understand already
if you’d ever learned to trust me –
all the sign meant was:
let go of all pre-conceived notions.
Let go of all not experientially true.
Let go of all belief systems.
Trust yourself only.
After all, that’s who you live for.

You always share an avante gard perspective.
This was striking, especially the final verse, which was the intent.
Smiling at the pureness of this.
