All Over the Place

The Good News

from grad school
was God Is Dead.

Triumphal,us! Not
really much fun
after all

was said & done,
& said again.

Stranded
by the floe,
the act turns

orgiastic &
then hung over
poses harden

to dogma, com-
forting theologians
knowing that course

shows more green
than rough. We stroke
listlessly, after

landing in sexual traps &
rehabs. Till grief scallops
the circuit. God has

reprised his standup,
tighter than ever,flock-

ing us with the most
deadly,meretricious

shepherds the world
has yet stomached.

But hey, be cool. All's
a cycle & we'll come
back. Already planning

to be robbed
of our jewels

in the seediest
Vegas room.
