the white lights
ethereal they say
and i am
an
unreligous piece of shit
the sun sets not for me
so the streetlights suffice
so at these times
i just stare into the light
grass to blanket the world
coarse drought season
can't be removed
from a pastoral scene
i know god and he is
very mean
i saw jesus once and he said
"look what dad did to me."
i pruned his thorns
i touched his wounds
and he told me
a thousand frivolities
ahhh the bible belt
around my annorexic waist
god said not to believe
and i made haste
the moon in the sky
it's not for me
a church steeple only holds its glow
it's times like these
i stare into the lights
and relish in the shadow
