Meditations: Dario Fo's Discovery That God Is The Supreme Head Of The Italian State Railway Poem by Liberatore Suffoletta

God, once had a mustache, double breasted jacket
Wollen turtleneck and held me on skis in Abruzzi

God, once was a second grade teacher, signorina Puccessi, teaching
Petrach, Virgil, Ovid, Boccacio, Dante, Grazia Deleddo, , to mules

God, once was whoever had 10,000 lire, the bomba,
dared to show it, to spend the whole amount on drinks

God, once was the captain of an ocean liner, Vesuvius
Crossing the atlantic to ellis island, with one push from Naples

God, once played centerfield in pinstripes, wore number 7
drank a lot, hit home runs, won world series, a good friend

God, once was a girl's eyes, her mouth, her right breast,
then her left and sometimes the void between her legs

God, once was the head of the New York Stock Exchange
and quit over a salary dispute, to save money on taxes

God, once wore silver and black, became very popular,
other than in K.C., throwing long bombs to Cliff Branch

God, once was the creator of all things, except Darwinism,
Communism, all isms etc, but now rarely makes even a miracle

God, once fell terribly in love, lost, banished everyone to hell
became stone deaf to all pleas, while watching tv in heaven

God, once went back to Italy, became a sanitation worker
called a strike, filled Rome with garbage, till money was paid

God, once dressed as a woman, liked it so much,
he became a she and took a walk on the wild side

God, once wore a red fedora, played Stanley on broadway
and went around shaking up molecules with black jazzmen

God, once went back to New York City, shot all the petty thieves,
wannabees and junkies and gave the credit to the politicians

God, once punished his angels, making them sioux, aztecs,
blackfeet, incas, slaves, jews and had europeans murder them

God, once loved the world so much he gave it his only begotten son,
who became president of the united states, for eight years

God, doesn't ski now
God, doesn't play baseball or football, either
God is retired in Maine,
God sleeps on the couch
God could use a shave
God goes to the refrigerator to get a beer
God lies on the floor and watches tv
God could use a bath
God has an answer for every question
God has no books, no music, no dvds
No family
God, does still go around shaking up molecules
Tho` wearing glasses now
