he woke
a rant breaking over the top of his
dreamsraging more precise
however
he was cognizantconscious enough that he did not wake on the wrong foot get out
of bed on the wrong side
his upset was people our inherent state our humanUnkindness
were doomed to be idiots like goldfish in a glass bowls who eventually will
suffocate and die because theyve fouled their surroundings their atmosphere
but goldfish havent the
wherewithal to do otherwise
which make us evermore worse off evermore
ignorant
he also woke thinking of houses
of worship tucked amongsharing common walls alleyways with mini mall hardware
stores hairdressers barber shops bowling alleys hobby shops pancake houses
greasy spoons the occasional pet stores like
mini zoos
everywhere escaped black shiny crickets
seeking salvation which living things will do because they hadnt a choice and
were confined to the lowest rungs of the food chain desperately kneeling on pointy knees chirping
Hallelujah! peeping Hallelujah!
whatever it takes whatever
to please a surly God a miscreant Messiah
theyve escaped and implore holyroller ministers spiritualists self-anointed
prophets lesser messiahs to speak on their behalf and pray insist to God that they
are worthy they are worthwhile
they
are Children of God too
perhaps more so because
they are innocent
