Yep, Easter again and time to re-post that Easter poem:





...............< another god-damned easter poem >

...............most of you was naked
...............i
...............on the other hand
...............was getting close
...............to the end of the conveyer belt
...............dumping us off into the abyss
...............or
...............into all the chocolate we'd ever want
...............but
...............there was no way to find out
...............which
...............
...............it was
...............
...............it seems that way with us
...............all of us who vowed
...............to always sleep naked under the same sheet
...............
...............now you can walk up on the proverbial street
...............and ask either of us this question
...............and get a reply like you'd expect
...............from nazis at nuremburg
...............or commies before HUAC
...............or some poor queer bastard
...............needing a break from a judge of 85 who knows
...............this pervert should be damned
...............
...............i can't help any of this
...............i tell myself i got to take a shower
...............and wash all this off for an hour or two
...............
...............wash the sins like the girl called christ
...............(she was in drag)
...............that died
...............or didn't
...............a few days from now
...............
...............i have no idea what to make of all that
...............these people come to my door
...............and tell me one thing
...............and after 3am on TV
...............some other people tell me ten other things
...............but all of them
...............want me to send my money
...............
...............where can i find christ
...............so i can give it directly to him?
...............
...............will it burn my hands when i do this?
...............
...............will i perish in fire for some vile perversion
...............that i forgot about?
...............
...............or will i be forgiven?
...............
...............i really need to be forgiven
...............like everyone i know needs to be forgiven
...............for watching the starving people on TV
...............for truly feeling compassion
...............for about 15 seconds
...............till the next commercial tells me
...............to buy corn chips
...............and I WILL
...............
...............oh god i promise I WILL
...............buy them
...............and eat each one savoring it
...............as it changes to YOU my CHRIST
...............changes on this EASTER of remembrance
...............changes to the flesh of the flesh i am eating
...............and grows large in me
...............
...............i sometimes think of the child i am to bear
...............of my mother telling me
...............i could never do this because i was a boy
...............
...............but i never could believe her
...............and i refuse to this day
...............
...............i will become large with my savior
...............
...............i will give birth to some salvation
...............
...............and the truth that has always escaped me
...............shall be evident to this child
...............which i will press from me
...............in pain and victory
...............like the rock
...............upon which all that follows will be built
