we are not called to adoration
May 3, 2007
(BLASPHEMY!)
we are called to act in fellowship.
(it is a SIN to miss the ceremonies!)
we are asked to think beyond our selves –
(the only way to save your sorry ass is to OBEY!)
beyond sex and possessions beyond security and agenda.
(the most important thing is to avoid HELL!)
we are asked to dive in and swim upstream,
(keep your nose in the BOOK!)
living our lives to serve others …
“so what”
April 2, 2007
Warhol said it a million times in his life.
when discounted and rejected
he never gave up.
unlikely propositions:

giving
voice
to principle
through politics
giving
voice
to God
through religion

when death comes
February 1, 2007
when death comes
the hand of life
reaches down
to lift up the soul
like a kitten
and gently
place it elsewhere

an infinity apart (perhaps 9)
January 21, 2007
this is
the dimension
of acute pleasure
of explosion –
its origins dictate such.
beyond
is very much
elsewhere –
infinities other than
this one.
I wish I had an angel friend
January 17, 2007
I wish I had an angel friend
to watch over your tiny travels –
to walk with you through wander worlds
of daisy, stream, and meadow.
I wish to have an angel friend
when it becomes your time
to go exploring on your own
to catch you if too high you climb
above this grownup world of pace
too fast to see my child’s face.
Noah
January 13, 2007
Noah was the last to go.
Discovered face down
hands still clenched
from the struggle for air.
Siblings Luke, then Paul
then John, then Mary
coaxed down the hallway,
into the tub
one at a time
each head held under
until bubbles
turned to silence.
In the end no frantic prayers answered.
No angel made Mommy stop.
your choice
January 5, 2007
if you believe you are alone –
you are always alone
if you believe in guidance –
it is everywhere
concrete god
December 26, 2006
Is God not concrete
enough for you?
Do you need more
than knowing?
Do you need
tricks and promises?
experts and channellers?
pomp and ceremony?
the fear of hell?
