You Keep Asking

You Keep Asking
The Creator
If You Should

Keep Trying
To Write
That Goofy
Novel

About a Loser
Who’s Spent
a Lifetime
Schlepping
Big Macs and Fries,

After Trashing His
Lawyer License
with Carelessness
and Duplicity
and
His Marriage
with The Same,

Who Tries to
End It All
with an
Overdose of
Balloon Gas,

Who is Met
on The Other Side by
His Boisterous Guides,
Who Send Him Back
to Start
The First Church of
Jeebus,

to Minister to
Other Seeming
Wastrels,

About
How Much
The Creator
Adores Them and
Celebrates Their
Being.

You Keep Asking
The Creator
If You Should

Keep trying
To Write
That Goofy
Novel.

The Creator
Keeps Giving You
The Same Answer,

The Same Answer
Given To All Offspring of
The Creator:

Do You Want To?
