day SIX HUNDRED and NINETEEN


 God Is On His Way

Just got a text from the Almighty.
He’s running a little behind.
He was on his way to your subdivision
to bless you in your five bedroom,
three bathroom abundance because
you are so much in need of divine grace.

Anyway, the heavenly El Camino picked up
a bolt off the road in the sidewall
of the driver’s side rear Firestone
because of all that highway
construction on Interstate 35
and, wouldn’t you know it, his spare was flat, too.

He called triple A and is just waiting for the tow truck.
Oh, he said to tell you that you’ll be fine
but you should have figured that out by now
with your health insurance and 401k balance.

He also mentioned he can’t stay long.  Something about Aleppo.
