cowboys and cops
always knew
how close we come
to the edge when
a round white coin
of moon is pasted
amidst a collage of
pinpoint stars
(or when some astral
body or other is in
retrograde)
they understood how
a tsunami of insanity
awakens and rolls
day by day
continent by continent
sweeping everything in
its path into a frothing
fury of purifying fear
but now?
now it takes more than
a white-hatted hero with
a smart horse to fathom
the fantastic truth
embedded in this
paper-moon world where
up is down unless it is up
where facts are fake and
fiction is autobiographical
now even philosophers
poets and pastors
struggle to explain
all of the needful people
needlessly suffering
in the fountaining dawn
of (what must surely be)
our twilight years
