“I’m sorry Mr. Henry,
your closing tomorrow
will not be happening,
we got a message
from the Buyer’s
Mortgage Company
that said that
they don’t mortgage churches.”

I had painstakingly &
consciously strived
to completely make my home
look like a
fucked-up
crazy man’s church.

Seriously?

Go somewhere
with a group
of people
to meditate?

Some friends of mine,
and I,
went on a road trip
this past weekend
and the subject
of meditation
came up.

One friend invited
the other two of us
to go some place,
some where,
to go participate
in meditation,
or learn to meditate,
or….

I got lost
in translation.

One never knows
the time we have
to get from
Point A
to
Point B.

I have a friend
with a kid
who O.D.’d
at 18;
and the kid,
I’m sure
thought
that he was
invincible.

It’s so damn sad
because everyone loved
that kid,
and he was
on a personal rocket ship
to greatness.

Besides field trips
to Peachtree Street
(with our car doors locked)
to see
THE HIPPIES
sitting around
smoking pot
on the sidewalks
in the seventies;

another repeated trip

What are you doing
next Friday

Gesture Steve’s Father,
Ted,
and Mother,
Delores,

old fashion,
Christian folk.

Atlanta came out
of the closet today;
in support of love,
openness,
and tolerance
for those
not like
themselves.

We’ve come
a long way
baby.

I love
that the
Westboro Baptist Church
GOD HATES FAGS
people
chose Atlanta
to focus
their fear-mongering
and hate.

I love THAT.

I can’t do it
I cannot do it.
I can not do it.

I started
writing these daily ditties
with the sole purpose
of leaving my daughter
a little of me
when I
kick the bucket.

I hoped to impart
some hard earned wisdom
that would help
make her life
a little easier
than mine has been.

I FINALLY fucking get it!

After all these years
of hearing Christians talk
about Eternal Life;
I finally get it!

Somebody,
somewhere along the line,
may have gotten it
all wrong?

Missed the mark.
