glory bar realities (Free verse) by royalflesh
me and hitler and jesus share an apartment on the fourteenth floor of
your brain.
we're a funny group of artists
and philosophers and jokers...
defeating the day,
talking to you,
having very unsafe sex with your girlthought imagination.
jesus is still the prankster.
he's got some newspater clippings of the cross performance...
he even signs fanmail sometimes
with a disapproving look.
he said yesterday he never had any intentions
of writing a book
(the bible was somebody else's idea).
he just thought he'd share some pretty magic tricks
for spare change.
who would have thought
it would transcend to a billion slaves.
but jesus loves his father.
so do me and hitler.
we all do.
we're kids.
we fuck up while we climb up
and now that you realize
how connected me and my boys are...
you might start seeing a reflection
of your own bloated face in us...
no, that would be crazy right?
try mad...its definitely fucking mad.
i know you have often doubted reincarnation
but take another look in the mirror...
you can see a thousand faces behind your eyes...
and
yesterday your soul got reinvented
in a mirror and ten seconds later
you were a housewife.
an hour later you killed a man
with your negro hands
and by midnight
you were four foot
tall playing with six kids
on an american block.
need an explanation?
of course you do...we all do.
so
here is the lovely paradox
jesus was a prankster.
he got it from dad.
one night god was drinking vodka
at the glory bar with a mess
of seasons and fates.
he threw down a fistful
of cracked marbles,
called them humans,
and laughed out loud.
he told the seasons
to hang out with the marbleboys
for a while
and the fates to watch.
