12,441. SOME GIANT AMONG MEN

SOME GIANT AMONG MEN
Brushing the freeway with ice; he
did it again. Parking cars sideways
on longitudinal lines? That too,
probably. I put the book down,
even if it's four in the morning,
when I hear the coffee start. Too
many late night happenstance
visions I have to read about :
St. Theresa of Avila? Saint
Leo the Great?
-
You have to admit, everything
gets dated after a while; even
miracles. The first few times, it
was pretty cool  -  raising people
from the dead and all that leper
stuff. Those saints were good
at prodding truth from hidden
places. But, what happens when
it all wears thin?
-
'What! Not another dead guy 
back up again!  -   they always 
parade around as if they were 
stupid; they smell, and their 
robes and winding cloths 
keep falling away.'
