Sometimes the laughter between  
us could heal a *****.
He would say, “Dear God, my nose is falling  
off, but these two ******* are funny.”
Jesus would say with a grin and a snicker,
“Go in peace my son, you are healed.”

I loved laughing with you Mare.
I felt like a kid that just watched
a five year old accidentally hit his dad in the
nuts with a plastic bat.

When you would get really hysterical,
you‘d make these strange snorting sounds
with your nose.  Our eyes watered like faucets.
I’m crying too now Mare—but not  
from sorrow.  My tears are from sheer joy at
our comedic silly days in the sun together.
I hope you’re laughing too.
Our masters have given us answers
        abandoned the truth to bend us to
        totalitarian dreams where everyone's
        a widget, cogs in wheels of commerce.
        They have homes for all the seasons.
        We live in boxes with lofty promises.
I love my garden perfect.
Everything in its place and
watered and sun drenched.
I live in chaos and clouds
that refuse to give rain.
Love withered long ago.
I'm a forgone conclusion
    and an empty promise.
    My words fail to inspire.
    My loves are always lost.
    Trouble always finds me.
    Read between the lines and
    find the real me with you
    inside my heart on my sleeve.
I prayed since I learned to kneel.
I begged You to keep me pure.
I asked you to give us food and
coal to warm our winters but You
mustn't have heard me. My goldfish
froze to death in their bowl and my
tears froze when I wept for them.
I found a warm girl and fell in love
and we sleep close alive and forgive
Your ignoring our needs as we ****.
