God's Donuts

God's Donuts

God jumped out a dream today

and woke me whilst I slept;

so I switched God to snooze.

God chose once again

to wake me up ten

minutes later with a light

switch from the den downstairs.

By then I was already ready

for the dawn of a fresh day,

gave God a kiss good-bye

and was on my way.

I sat next to God on the subway

but moved after the bum passed gas.

Later at the diner

God could not have tasted finer

then two eggs, toast, and coffee.

I like my God 

cooked sunny-side over easy.

God watches me

walk cautiously across a bustling walkway

where briefcases hang heavy on the hands

of busy business suits busting butt

to get where they're going.

God looks pimp in tie and jacket.

God gave me a test to pass

during Spanish class.

Sometimes I can't understand God

because God's accent is too thick.

God passed me in the hall today

on my way to act in a play.

I couldn't help but stare at God's ass

as God walked away.

During the scene I was acting,

I asked God for my character's motivation.

God directed me to meditate

on memories that illuminate my situation.

 I bought God's donuts

 from the shop on the corner.

God, I love God

glazed in chocolate, with rainbow colored sprinkles.

God begged me

for some spare change on the bus ride home.

Lucky for God

I had some change to spare.

Dinner with God was very romantic.

We engaged in deep spiritual conversation

then made sweet love for hours.

I aim to please my beautiful God.

God is good

in bed.

Afterwards, God and I got high.

I smoke God like it's nobody's business.

When I tried to fall asleep

God kept the light on to read.

“Look,” I said to God,

“you won't find God in a book.”

Finally in my slumber I wondered

why surreal images of God's appearances

appeared to outnumber experienced experiences.

God's face appeared as mountains from the east.

God's breath breathed through rainforest trees.

God's fur felt soft on African beasts.

God's blood bubbled in Adriatic seas.

“Please,” I pleaded with God's cool breeze,

“where am I going?”

The reply I got made perfect sense

God whispered, “Only I am knowing.”

“Only I am knowing.” Mysterious. Hypnotic. Beautiful: God told me to tell you this. Thanks, man.
