The Third Coming

 This poem pays hommage to William Butler Yeats

A Falconer, Newton and Snoop Dogg are having a talk at a falconer show in front of a food truck.

The falcon cannot hear the falconer

"Ring-up ya screamer!"

And the majestic bird releasing its claws from the gloved hand

Rose with the air

Fixing its eyes on a cloud veiling the Sun then veering left when

Things fell apart; the centre could not hold

Snoop Dogg: "Hey Newton" what were you copying from Leonardo?"

Newton: "Give me a break, all he did was make a doodle 

On a page with the rain falling diagonally. My Apple

Fell straight down!"

Snoop Dogg: "Ya gotta look back to go forward.

Them Leonardo rain drops came 

Before your apple thunked your head."

The Falconer: (looking worriedly at a Falcon App on his phone) "Kack-Kack-Kack-Kack! 

Dear, dear, don't fly away from the anarchy of this world!"

"And what went down with Galileo 

Dropping the Bomb from the Tower of Pisa, ain't that right Newton?"

Newton: "Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo, Galileo Figaro Magnificooo"

"Can you spread some extra Mayo on 

That eggplant tomatillo?" sang along Snoop

The Falconer, also looking at the Food Truck Guy with

Conviction and passionate intensity 

"You can Second me on that Eggplant mayo tomatillo"

A "Boom" was heard, some thought it was an explosion

Everyone looked up as the Goshawk punctured a balloon

Floating high above

Suspended now

Dropping

Tufts of sheepy cotton bits

Responding to Gravity

Falling into the nearby Sea.

"Do you want a drink with that?" asked the 

Food Truck Guy, craning his neck towards 

The hullabaloo 

"I'll have a beer without any gluten" said Newton

"Just a cup of icy Tap, long as it's crystal clear" purred Dogg

Kack-Kack-Kack-Kack! This time it was the Falcon, not the Trainer

Surely some revelation is at hand

Surely the Second Coming is at hand

Some white fluffy bits are still falling

Newton: "You are treating me like a floundering 

Monkey. There's more Science in me than Sing-Song in you."

Snoop Dogg: "I say Galileo dropped cannon balls and wood

One century before your Apple, Dude."

"And the Tower of Pisa was standing straight" smirked Newton

"Kack-Kack-Kack-Kack!"

 this time it was the Falconer 

His eyes became red

A tail crept out from his pants whose contours 

Took on a female silhouette 

Even Cardi-B 

Wouldn't miss doing a double take -soak in a visual detour

Like a saturated sponge thirsting for the horror of the next drought!

"I am the Chimera" the words sizzled off what was

The Falconer's tongue

With a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun

And darkness drops again

Spiritus Mundi 

Goody two shoes Burundi

The falcon vanished and bats appeared

Fluttering with the Moon as a backdrop 

That just kept on going.

"The Moon lost its Gravity" cried Newton,

"Soon the Oceans will no longer stick to the bottom."

"It's the 3rd Coming!" shouted Snoop,

Chewing and Sucking on his Eggplant Tomatillo with Mayo

"Hey Beast" he continued, pointing with his long fingers,

"Bethlehem is wayway. If you're looking for sinn

Doomsday is thataway."
