the clouds today formed the shape of jesus' face
his snowy beard rippling between the blues
and he showed his love over the park in which
we flung frisbees and slugged water and smoked tobacco
as not fifty yards away from our communion
jesus pride day set up their tents in the salem commons
garish bumper stickers emblazened their vehicles
for instance-
91101 massachusetts terrorist hunter id number
spoke a sticker on the side window of a honda passport
driven by a gentlemen decked out in full clown regalia
no bloody jihadist would ever suspect the clown
no one ever does.
15 people were in the park that day
including the four frisbee players who were decidedly not
showing their jesus pride
the other 11 people,
8 of which were in the family band playing in the veranda
for the other 3 people in the park,
one of which was a police officer
did however show enough jesus pride
to make that pillowy cloudy jesus face
grin a little
and let me say this
the power of 10 suns cannot match the warmth
of jesus' smile.
i think it has something to do with his bone structure
high cheeks and all.
Amen
