Wise Guys<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some spiritual
\nWise Guys,
\nthe same religious
\nMafiosi who
\ninsisted on
\ncalling the
\nBurning Love
\nthat blew Itself
\ninto All That Is<\/p>\n

\u201cGod\u201d<\/p>\n

as if such
\nIncandescence
\nis of the same
\nrank and order as
\nThor and Zeus and
\nAphrodite and
\nHades,<\/p>\n

those same
\nWise Guys
\ninsist
\nthat to be
\nafraid of
\n\u201cGod\u201d
\nis the birthplace
\nof what they call
\nWisdom.<\/p>\n

If they were within
\na heavenly mile of
\nWisdom
\nthey would know that<\/p>\n

It begins with
\nLove
\nthat wants to
\npull You close and
\nkiss Your
\nface<\/p>\n

until You breathe
\nenough of It
\nthat You know<\/p>\n

the very idea
\nthere is a
\n\u201cGod\u201d
\nwho wants to
\nkeep You frightened<\/p>\n

is the only
\nHell
\nthat ever
\nexisted.<\/p>\n
