omnipotence

a way of life

 

 

make the weather here

there everywhere

 

day night make

all creatures too

 

everything I say is true

or comes around some day

 

people will do as they’re told

words say what I mean

… intended, hint

have an inkling hunch

 

we go on from there

 

won the jackpot in the pub

I decided to win the world cup

one lottery after another

… such were my prodigious acts of will

I was the greatest rocknroll band in the world

(best voice, licks, most fans… whatever measure I liked)

… to say I was a force of nature was really underegging

 

was Cloud 9 trickster, had monkey magic

cudgeled a couple of

 

words as I have said are gospel

I mean just mine

 

having all the time in the world

living forever’s a piece of cake

 

owning that and the rest besides

sitting on top, you could say

being beside myself, omnipresent they call it

knowing all too

seeing through things

delving over and under and on

as you may imagine

no cup of hemlock for me

(though I have experimented

… with everything of course

… more on the way)

 

I decided all sorts, if I could be bothered --

conjure a breeze, make pace

to be invisible at times

otherwise larger than life

 

I have decided

to move the city

it was in the road

… planets likewise -- my Jupiter view

 

I own everything

you’ll notice this if you check your accounts

(this wasn’t a gradual process)

 

I have decided bigger than my boots

eyes more than my meal

to fly where others crawl

to soar

to have a little paradise

and get above myself

where, what else but…

 

took some celestials off their courses

just for a try-out, you understand

 

like having a watch apart

and anyone can bring it all back
let hours be a day

divided the light

did dark for dreaming

 

decided to call it a kingdom

all my own work, mind you

 

I have decided to think only pleasant thoughts

reform myself

cast all sorts of spell

 

a certain amount of wrath, spite, brimstone

I had some good guesses and now they are facts

 

… if the whole thing were a joke

trick up a punchline

break the news

 

decided to hit a home run

hooped it and potted the black

 

I can make the train come

these days without a ziggurat either

say it was a good sleep and it was

 

everyone wants what I have to offer

 

after a while come to take it for granted

omnipotence - it’s a bloke thing

my way the highway

 

shoosh the room

and hear a pin drop

I just float up the stairs

 

equanani-man-or-mouse - I make up my mind

strike balances

all’s calm

 

today is just one of my birthdays

get always out the right side of the bed

fall on my feet like the cat

 

I - on my own recognizance

(crept from the fine print, changes your tune)

 

they said I’d be trouble

I don’t disappoint -

decided to stop the world

hop on some other whizz-by

I decided - why not -

a comet and icy behind

 

played possum

turned tail

ran rings around

 

earbuds upnose

I flaunted

 

never humble enough

no one is up here

 

I have decided that you will agree

and every day degrade myself

just so you may see

low divinity in action

 

call myself god of it

to be loved

then they will love me

 

but

o is it you’re my reader?

couldn’t shift your stubborn heart

and I never quite got your attention

that just wasn’t in my power
