Pantheon

Which of the following is not a god:

Allah

Shiva

Jehovah

A can of chicken soup?

The answer: all of the above.

We have all see the sign:

“The deity is not in

Try again tomorrow."

So what remains?

Only the great questions

Why a duck?
Paper or plastic?

How are we to act?
Think mythically, live really

Take the earth apart,

and put it together back again

Connect continent A

With sea B

Examine what is left over
And learn the meaning of a smile.

Columbus

And we were all Americans in 1492,

Americans, unborn, unburied.

We were breezes

pushing the ships on.

We were the Nina, the Pinta, the Santa Maria

and shipwrecks and vacant maps;

blank faces of the navigators;

faith in a faithless wave.

Land Ho!

The queens and kings lay down their tired old world wars

for wars of American blood.

We were waiting.

Unborn. Unburied.
