Saving The World

By John Blase | May 10, 2014 |

Okay, I just saw Jesus

browsing in a used bookstore.

I said Hey Lord, shouldn’t

you be out there saving the world?

He said Hey John, saving the world

is slow work, sorta like browsing these old shelves

and for some reason you

find yourself drawn to a particular title,

then taking the time to lose yourself

in its pages until you reach The End.

He punched me in the arm,

like boys do, then walked

toward the fiction rows.
