Born Again Again

Walk the narrow way of the severely astonished.
Bumble around mouth agape at the sheer gift
of the earth mumbling Wouldja look at that?
Acknowledge everyone and I mean everyone
whose path is crossed for they like you like me
erupted from God’s hangover after five days of hard partying.
Hum Song Sung Blue in line at every grocery store.
Skip like a kid to your car after every movie even the saddies.
Refuse to apologize for every hokey hope within you.
Send birthday cards for every occasion because
every day and I mean every day is a candle blowing
celebration of the uproarious realization that
we yes we have been born again again.

    “Refuse to apologize for every hokey hope within you.”-that’s some gold right there.

    My favorite is the 3rd-to-last line, especially how you did the line break.

    Wow. What a marvelous change of mood/tone, John. LOVE this . . . but then I’m a particular fan of all your moods. Thank you.

    “God’s hangover” made me think of Dali “Christ of Saint John of the Cross.”
