Describe Mode: Lux
et Veritas
Got no leg to stand on never
the less I cast
first stones, live in glass houses built on
sand, hate & call
kettles black, Cretans liars,
cut & stretch whatever to
fit my bed and lie
in it, flies on me & elite degrees testify
to my
liberal education. Would you like to know
what I think? May we argue?
No leg to stand on yet
watch me lambaste the
crippled and the lame.
Ignorant and ignorantly
I chasten stupidity. Soaking
wet in desire, how
dry I am castigating horny
& hungry. Suffused
in fear & hate: don’t
I ridicule timidity & caution
& lack of courage
swimming in a sea of
righteousness, I accuse.
Hello! I stick in my
thumb, pull out a plumb. What a good boy am I!
Faith. S’blood. Orphans
and widows and their
welfare don’t catch my imagination, visiting
sick and the embarrassed,
feeding poor and
clothing homeless? I’d rather play banjo. Mow
lawn. Prepare omelets. Grade papers. Neuro-
surgery. Dentistry
Pastoring congregations of
Fundamentalists. Front end
alignment.
Whispering to dogs: none
of these follow my
nose. The lame shall enter first
& I might not
postpone joy from time to time.
My belief system is Kansas.
Faith = the whole
earth cataloged.
Flatland & Sphere. Line & Constellation.
Terrestrial & Extraterrestrial. Conscious.
Unconscious. Thinking & Feeling. They don’t
Just Get Along. Belief is boss of me, me of Little Faith
