MIRACULOUS DEUS OMNIVORUS
You won't be exiting in that same costume
you've got on now - the lines have changed
and even the ending of this play may now
vary. Cows may still come wandering home,
but that's about it and no one really does
farming any more.
-
Fence-lines of barbed wire are like the
old sentences of florid speakers; words in
a long row, maybe barbed here and there,
but running on forever too. Abe Lincoln had
his abracadabra Gettysburg moment, but
he knew how to cut it short.
-
For me, there's no declaration like a bold
declaration : the sun is not yellow, it's chicken?
However that may be, those small words can
linger on : in the ghostbooks of college seniors
who gag on their supper spoons.
-
When this God, this time, next moment,
comes down from Heaven in whatever way,
past that point it will all be anti-climax,
and boredom will have its say.
