'matanoia' or 'grandma' timothy r gates, 11/17/2008

this way
not the other way
which way?
Turn
or,
burn.
Learn?
Spurn
'god loves you;
everyone else thinks
you're an asshole,'
bumper sticker,
nearly caused me to wreck.
(what if,
everyone else thinks
god's an asshole?
Or,
everyone else thinks
you're god?
Now wait,
--applause
for
an agnostic gnostic?)
matanoia,
flux
stagnant
static,
here it comes...
en-thusiasm's light-bulb
-- ah-ah,
why didn't I see
this before?
Vertical intrusion
horizontal excursion,
matanoia,
like Grandma was
when 101,
'That's just Grandma.'
