She left me all alone

 

She left me all alone

with these old bones

which I rattle together like

stones, like

tablets and memories of God

who,

leaving  bones,

left me alone

with words

so I curse Him with words,

You don’t exist and

that’s the end of it,

Buster you are so out of here,

So get your robes and books and

make like a tree and

leave

and take your Bang with you

It wasn’t so Big

and there were other Bangs around

they say

in fact

They

have gone as crazy

as you.

 

 

We are such
an imperfect camera
we keep so few images
and our lens
is always fogged
our data is stored so imperfectly
that surely God
went digital a long time ago
We have no backup
for our images
and don’t record sound very well
except for the music of our voices
which we use to try to
save some data in the newer storage units
I can write things down but I cannot
cannot
cannot
make you see that look in my father’s eyes

Politics by meme
High def terror shots
everybody armed to the teeth
gun show Fridays

politics by meme
arming and dividing along
color and belief
Sunni shiite
Blue red

Do all the Gods demand blood,
and offer salvation
among the armed camps?

We’ll have a good Armegeddon
if we make it happen
Hurrah
Way to go
