The next best thing to having no god,
Is having too many.
An infinite pantheon,
divides each demigod
so thin that 1x10^23 angels
can dance on their belly
without a god damning chagrin.

Back in the 6th grade,
your name was Morrisette.
It must have been 11:00 A.M.
sunlight rayed into the class south-south-east,
klegging through your white blouse.
My eyes could only see your brassiered back.
I prayed to God the nun wouldn't call on me
and make me stand.

One chappati, two chappati, three chappati,
for
fire
jump
from that fry pan
to this skillet.

You're a pronoun,
I'm a pronoun.
Let's say we grab a verb
and conjugalate ;-)

If this world has a haven
would it not be more orderly
to demarcate such ordinally,
in place of east & west.
Take Vermont,
one can't crow fly
one Haven to the next
without flying an hour south!

Dry
Today I turned inside,
walked to the plaza jardin,
stood before the central well
There a hangman's noose secured a ropped bale 'n bucket
which I dropped into the inky dark,
no splash has yet been heard.

Your walk was pure poetry,
you my teacher,
I your student.
"Parlez vous francais?"
"Non"
You were a total rousse, I presumed.
You'll never know how much I wanted to learn.
