Perne in a Gyre

Whatever is begotten, born, and
dies. Caught in that sensual music
all neglect. Monuments of unageing
intellect  (Yeats)
 
Hosanna
 
    “Brother are you saved?”
 
Portrait of my old man as a young fool
for Christ asking any stranger on the road

(after Yale,  Exeter,  Edinburgh:  born
again to fish for myn, save souls best he
could state of an art beyond Brownings,
Milton, Shakespeare, Chaucer &  other
Phi Beta  Kappa constraints not with
standing  cultural  relativities & salutary
sophistication):

are you  safe?
 
He wondered & would ask.  
 
Imagine:
salvation as cool as Kardashians?
Kim’s catastrophic ass? A million
dollar money maker. Need we argue?
Any body with  6-pac abdominals on
the other hand, that too. Takes one’s
breath away.  Just Breathe, I advise
my self,  caught up in moments.of
my risky business.
 
Savvy as second hand holy smokes,
pre-shrunk cellophane wrapped: .no
need to roll my own.  God, Guns, and
Gotchas! Get back  Get back to where
I started from. Sound. Safe. Symptomatic
 
Safety tantamount to chocolate &  straw
berries, sweetness & lights  at the end  of
my tunneling; peace of mind guaranteeing
some satisfaction yes, Yes, YES?
.
xxxooo, Presbyter
