Clint Eastwood in Outer Space

man eats mushroom,
counts to 2,321;
mushroom travels to brain
tells man to read I Ching.

I Ching says "Hexagram 18: decay" -
wind and mountain
crossing river
bottom becomes top.

man walks across Golden Gate Bridge
eats hamburger in cafe
sees clouds form words,
out come umbrellas -
sound of souls splashing on street.

man catches bus to River of Stars;
outside window man sees Picasso;
Picasso tells man:
"Look in rearview mirror,
the past is the future!

man sings nursery rhyme
a horse appears
man rides into sunset.
