God

By purest chance I was out in our street when the kindergarten

Bus mumbled past going slow and I looked up just as all seven

Kids on my side of the bus looked at me and I grinned and they

Lit up and all this crap about God being dead and where is God

And who owns God and who hears God better than whom is the

Most egregiously stupid crap imaginable because if you want to

See God and have God see you and have this mutual perception

Be completely untrammeled by blather and greed and comment,

Go stand in the street as the kindergarten bus murmurs past. I’m

Not kidding and this is not a metaphor. I am completely serious.

Everyone babbles about God but I saw God this morning just as

The bus slowed down for the stop at Maple Street. God was six

Girls and one boy with a bright green and purple stegosaurus hat.

Of course God would wear a brilliantly colored tall dinosaur hat!

If you were the Imagination that dreamed up everything that ever

Was in this blistering perfect terrible world, wouldn’t you wear a

Hat celebrating some of the wildest most amazing developments?
