Free Verse 1 Week 5

Resting,
on couch pillows waiting for the branched history
lost in mechanical caxtons. Specifically,
beginnings of civilizations lower than the wet marble staring back at me with its monotonous
face.
Across from Einstein and WGC I'm sitting, on this stained
seat with its lint and funny smell
is pages apart from the true history I'm waiting on.
The one where this book with its wrinkled spine is burning and its spoken into existence by Homer,
showing me the path to walk with closed eyes and a open heart.
Revealing his arthritis hands and pointing to the outer bounds
of 1601 Maple Street. Some unspoken agreement
between him and Virgil made me play in Limbo,
the inferno that reduced
lies by Dante
to ash. Ash, ash, crumbling  and
Strawberry ice cream I've longed  for while my lips
dried out and cut down
by my Green Blistex which betrayed me.
Betrayed
the true history of the world through its 3 clicks:
back then, here, and what's happening.
Wondering if my oratorical skill will stand the test of
spoken achievement (or history conceiving) when they look back on
the living I've done and what they've done.
To the true history they trying to get rid of.
In these      three         clicks.
