Ten Questions I Lose Sleep Over Poem by Bob Genevro

1. Why were The Beatles' solo careers
as bland as the cardboard on their album covers?

2. Why do those who drip in jewels
jump off the Golden Gate?

3. Why do Born Again Christians
treat the homeless
like curdled milk?

4. Why are my health problems:
foot fungus
sciatica
arthritis
& brain tumor
all on my right side?

5. What if we really will go to hell
for not going to church on Sunday,
for having impure thoughts,
for eating meat on Friday?

6. Why doesn't the word 'circle'
have an 'O' in it?

7. Who will be the first woman
to take a leak on the moon?

8. What does the H. stand for
in Jesus H. Christ?

9. Will I die from bullets,
slings & arrows,
or bee stings?

10. Upon my death.
'will I call myself beloved
and feel myself beloved on the earth'?
