Amen

poetry
I know what you're thinking
but there simply is not enough
God to go around so if you could
pack enough clothes for a week
or two
and the novel you've been
uhm
working on
we can start driving by breakfast
and could be to the bridge
by noon at worst

now there may be no crossing
in this car of ours
for God is in low supply out here
so make sure that your pack
straps tight
and stuff the manuscript in
at least a pair of ziplocs
oh, and leave the Docs behind
you'll need something with laces
so they can pull and be tied on
if we do have to go in

we'll find towels and heat
once we get off the shorline
and out of sight of the long guns
but this is where we'll need it
so save all your precious God
for that one sprint
and use it all up, every last little bit
you've got
because if we don't make it
to the treeline
we wont need any more God
anyway
