Abusing My Religion

 
 





Manners of Speaking
 
IT’s beyond me, damnit,
what my old man would
say to his dying day but
not add damnit, damnit;
       yet that’s why
 it’s beyond me crying
out loud, damaged &
damaging: the damage
done.
 
My will to make known!
 
Just describing here, not
condemning, damage comes
with denial.
 
      Beyond Me?
     Hell, no, I say.
 
“Vulnerable” maybe. “Wounded,” sure.
Local variants & diversity on a meme
as  it were so to speak our ways of talking.
 
Can’t say  we’re damned,
damnit  not on Oprah unless
it’s for laughs
 
I do my damnedest
to put  IT in play.
 
Seriously..
 
Michael Scott, manager,
Dunder Mifflin Paper,
reminds me of idiocy:
my idios savvy:
 
see me
hear me
touch me
feed me
 
See: my idiosyncracy’s
not so idiosyncratic.
Look, there’s
Michael:

He’s an idiot, too. .
 
Glenn Beck, the same.
           Worse!
I would throttle both &
deny it  yet watch & can’t
turn away.
 
The horror! The horror!
 
Do unto others golden rule’s
beyond me. 
 
I Look at them others!
 
See how they do.
 
Just like me in the mirror,
me in the
spotlight  Abusing
my religion.
 
Playing with IT crying out loud:
I’ve said too much:haven’t said
enough.
 
It’s beyond me, damnit.
IT, I said.
I
