✡ ✞ ✡ ✞ ✡ ✞ ✡
Never been a sinner – I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He’s gonna set me up with the spirit in the sky…
Norman Greenbaum
Judah’s gelt in fuzz guitar
cymbals cling
Spirits rise as souls descend—
hippie ears ring
Babylon’s theft: the temple bereft
earthly vessels
****** apostles; Jesus people
(Jacob wrestles)
High theology, low symbology
dealer slang
Green the budding branch, the buzz
symbols clang
Sixty-nine/seventy: youth unheavenly
overjoyed
False revival. In survival
shines the void.
