WINDY CITY BIBLE
Shaun Millard
God is perpetual twilight down Michigan Avenue
Jesus warms his hands by garage barrel bonfires
Amidst the glamorous waste of Lower Wacker
He preaches atop discarded McDonald's crates
One glorious dissertation to gathering poverty
His home
cardboard trim ornamented with mealworm colonies
Disposable household
bureaucracies squander
Under Wacker there is a map to the son of man
Just follow the hammers in the dark
Noah has docked the arc in Navy pier
Lincoln Park Zoo has relocated to coincide with his wishes
A public service announcement on Animal Planet
Mating habits of all species will now be shown from the Ferris wheel
Incessant chirps, roars, moans, repeat
Sends mortal stupor to glass-eyed tourists
David detonates the dispensable time bomb
Along parquet ash and steel mortem
He claims victory over Sears Tower tragedy
Self-proclaimed sky king
He has slain Goliath
Adam pricked by black-eyed bushes
Intrigued by radiance his sin magnifies
While Eve capitulates under the maple tree
The audience of squirrel beggars uncovers
Arrogance in her heart
Moses emancipates stock exchange's ethereal souls
Parting cars east to west down Lake Shore
Rush hour is hell
Penthouse suite Hancock Building
Moral Codes Sold Here
Thou shalt steal, rape, kill, and pillage in order
To satisfy one's palette
Crosses replace road signs
Rosaries are handouts on street corners
Church bells resonate timepiece
The alter is industry
And Judas has set fire to Lower Wacker
