Begin
by descending
into
a deep
shaft
of required thinking.
With each
downward
step
move further
from the truth.
Continue
down
down
to where
a flashlight
is called the sunlight.
There
you will stay
to follow
a manufactured god.

All that is required –
blind obedience
to keepers of the “truth”.
( Not to truth –
but to its “keepers”. )

pretzel arm
February 21, 2007
I am one of those people who love to sweat. Whether running full stride on a warm evening or playing pick-up basketball in the steamy sun, it all seems very cleansing to me.
When I was young, I remember playing with friends, cousins, and siblings long after dark. We would play hide and seek, flashlight tag, and spy. Dirt rings formed around our necks and became badges of festive accomplishment – Doctor of Fun. We went indoors only when enticed by ice cream or threatened with the loss of privilege.
Upon entering the house, a ghostly light in the living room would reveal a gaggle of younger children already lying on the floor facing the television. Their bowls of ice cream sat protected in front of each of them. Quickly we’d run into the kitchen for our share and then peck our way onto the rug which had now become a beach.
As my body cooled, salt formed on the skin. I could lick my forearm like a big pretzel. It seemed a shame to take a bath and wash it all off.

You believe in
no forgiveness

no Allah
no God.
You have been
misled.
