stories in poetry

Götterdämmerung, Bildungsroman
both sound real classy
in the original German
the second means "coming of age story"
the first means "the twilight of the gods"
I think I feel both of these coming
but really though
what are the odds

Revelation Ragnarok
Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock
The Fifth World's coming
to this little Third Rock
I hope I'm still around to see it

I'd like to be a
full actualized man
not just grown-up you understands
I'd like to see magic at least once
that's my plan
I hope that doesn't make me a theist
I just hope that I get to see it

transcending the gods
as a man in full
as Gilgamesh and Enkidu
slew the Heavenly Bull
even just once
even just one
I'd like to be me
that would be fun
Bildungsroman, Götterdämmerung
