the turning of the age--
the revelation at last--
and very few ready to receive this apocalypse--
and fewer who don't know anything about ready
but ready nonetheless in complete ignorance
of the yawning reality
stretching up ahead--
the sky opening inside the skull
the vista vast beyond seeing
another dada experiment
nearly a century after it was fresh
but in eternity--its own actuality--
and it lets us in--
it pours into the skull
and encloses us--
this apocalypse actual at last--
centuries of prophecy coming to term--
no longer legend but eternal fact--
not some tale in the shaman's vocabulary--
but beyond it--beyond it--
the actual that engenders the distortion
that is our eyes blunt by veils--
now they fall--
now they reveal--
the revelation at last
the turning of the age
the time we've long awaited
