Give It a Rest<\/strong><\/p>\n

So God sits down
\non the Seventh Day
\nto rest,
\n(though Time is of no Essence.)
\nCup of coffee and
\ncinnamon roll in hand,
\nsurveying the
\nExtravaganza.<\/p>\n

Over yonder
\na tower of giraffes
\nloping the savanna,
\nbeyond that
\nthe North Rim of the Canyon,
\njust before you get to
\nsoon-to-be
\nWaikiki,
\non the way to Mount Fuji.<\/p>\n

Circle back to
\nJimi at Monterrey Pop,
\nhop over to the Globe where
\nWill is doing a dress rehearsal
\nof A Midsummer Night\u2019s Dream.
\nDown there Socrates is
\nhanding out programs,
\nover here Dr. J
\nis slammin\u2019
\nfrom the free-throw line.<\/p>\n

Speaking of which
\nGod slams down her
\ncup so hard it cracks.<\/p>\n

Who in Hell
\nare these fools
\ngoing around with
\na spray can painting
\n\u201cSacred\u201d or \u201cProfane,\u201d
\n\u201cHoly\u201d or \u201cWorldly\u201d
