Not everything that returns to life is meant to.
The miracle of resurrection. Ha!
Crusades and inquisitions.
The world would be better off
if he had remained buried…
nourishing the banyan tree …or whatever.
Indian schools and witch hunts.
How does a symbol that depicts a tortured man
impaled on an instrument of execution give comfort?
Pedophiles and coverups.
Drinking beer from the bottle
as if it was water before the miracle,
feeling enriched but not fertilized,
the unsober mind staggers inevitably
toward the unanswerable questions
that plague the inebriated.
What exactly is the difference between
a lack of understanding and a mystery?
What exactly is the difference between
magic and a miracle?
Do magic and miracles occupy the same dimension?
The wandering mind wants to know.
Who decides?
Who cares?
I’ll have another tallboy…
On second thought, make it two, please.
