god-like

Rob Plath

once when i was
10 years old
one of the many
times i was forced
to go to church
early in the morning
on sunday
i was in the front
row&when the priest
came to shake
hands to offer peace
i shot mine back
and ran it
through
my hair
to my surprise
he laughed
taking it very
gracefully
looking back
i think that
deceiving
gesture of mine
was actually
very god-like
just think
of the countless
hands
throughout
history that
reached out
& how that
all-knowing
motherfucker
dissed them
& whipped back
his hand
& pushing it
through the
strands of
his cosmic
locks
cackled
