'Ever?' timothy r gates, 11/21/2008

Ever fall into
love
or into the dumpster
climbing out,
not so easy
and the mess,
shit smells better?

Ever pray
or prey
dial-o-deal
with God
with neighbor,
odor's like manure
a little rain, sunshine?

Ever rise above
resurrection
aim for the stars
shooting one wished upon
believe the mythos
hear the logos
sit in your own?

Yeah, me neither.
