*Everyone carries within him/herself the imperishable Spirit.  The inner Observer of all that goes on in the mind and psyche of humankind and in the operations of their organs of sensation and action.  Because of its presence within the innermost heart, and however veiled it might be through effects of forgetfulness, it nevertheless still communicates to the soul a thirst for transcendence.
-Victor Danner



one of those things

jesus walked through the front door of a church and stumbled
the congregants arose and shooed him out the door
he sat at the entry pounding on the iron doors
hoping someone might come with a glass of water
he tried speaking but abuse was poured into his ears
wanting to say i'm more than you imagine
but who'd listen once the cops were called
their sirens wailing as the priest raised the Host
they dragged him down the steps as a loiterer
shoving him into the wagon, beating his head
while all in church proceeded peacefully
believers happy that their worship was clean
