                                        < joining jesus >
                               
                                 i was joining jesus to his cross
                                 using galvanized 6 inch decking screws
                                 and that cordless drill
                                 you gave me for christmas
                                 when the phone rang
                                 and it was some roman
                                 wanting his sword back
                                 i'm sorry
                                 to hear about your condition
                                 maybe the second opinion
                                 will be better
                                 today
                                 was too warm for january
                                 it woke the squirrels
                                 and the neighbors
                                 gnawing with motorized teeth
                                 made me skip a track
                                 on my next belief
                                 or some vitamin
                                 or arrangement of words
                                 that could have fixed it all for me
                                 so i'll just go back
                                 to nights
                                 filled with black plastic bags
                                 i don't know what's in them
                                 but whatever it is
                                 is leaking out
                               
                                                - - -




While criticism is not required, it is sincerely to be hoped for. (Off or On-topic remarks and clever abuse are appreciated as well.)

A good example of why schizophrenia is so often mis-diagnosed.  I'd worry about neighbors with motorized teeth, too.

A delightful read.  Thanks!
