A Religious View
god is a little child
Experimenting with toys
Alphabets blocks, too simple
So he casts them aside
For Lincoln logs and lego sets – he builds
A world around himself
god is a little child
Presented with a sheet of blank white paper
He stains it a thousand wax colors
So the ideas are there, all savage and lovely
But even he cannot pick them apart
So he casts them aside
Turns the paper over
Now thinking about his work
And by the time he is done
By the time he is satisfied
The crumpled torn up rough drafts
Are thick fog in the air
And lay lost in layers of Earth
god is a little child
Just learning how to write
His sloppy letters come to rest everywhere
And even when refined
They flow and flow and flow
In experimentation with style
With free verse and metaphor
Tragedy and farce
He scraps so many histories
In search of the perfect story
The perfect picture
Still looking and wondering and changing for
God is the mind of man
