BOB RIXON
Pentecost
Sunday
Today is a good day.
The sky is Blueberry Hill.
An artist in front of the church uses watercolors.
A weed growing from the bottom of a drainpipe
has a flowering bud. Everything is marked down
thirty to sixty
percent including
translucent Jesus, a fat
cop on his beat
eyeing the sleeveless
teenage girls,
& the leftover Easter candy. An
afternoon
without
mysteries. No one has to pray.
We obtain what we desire. Not a single person
is disappointed. Even funerals are
canceled,
all the recent dead are returning to life.
After Hell there is always Purgatory,
& the ascending concentric
circles of Heaven.
Stop
by for a new language & a free map.
