S. Wesley Mcgranor

*O God, your unfailing providence sustains the world we live in and the life we live: Watch over those, both night and day, who work while others sleep, and grant that we may never forget that our common life depends upon each other's toil; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

*Book of Common Prayer

My religion
exists in my mind,
my own private mind,
and I am free.

The era unwelcoming,
the gospel and man
astray.

The
greeting
cheap?
to those

thy holy city-
refuge/
on heavens hill-
exalted/

Sihk, Nation of Islam, Five Percenters, and Real Mohammedan behold
a god that they can touch, see, and pray to.

'Out on the street
for a living'.
Where sympathy
is cliche:
...

Closed to the beating
Punched, kicked, and choked
To an orgasm
Not her own
...

She sat
-down
and
sat
...

In bondage
like Adam and Eve
or making decisions to/for/against
the best of their knowledge

It was like a remote yesterday when you took me kite flying. I can remember vividly the ice cream cone afterwards, than mom having Autumn dinner ready, it was a homemade beef vegetable pie...
After grace dad said that he was leaving soon, that he had to go to heaven, go because he had cancer.
'Did god give you that'? I said to dad. Mom reservedly quipped no, it was satan. Later at bed time I prayed to god, and he said that it was himself.

Ever since he died, things just are not the same. But i'm really into Bob Dylan now. This organic/commie coffees great; hey nice tie-dye. I don't mind shwag if its the only stuff around. Acid, opiates and coke with some P.B.R. -at the happening place where gals re-enact Ani De Franco meets girls-gone-wild. Later when we are all sober we will find some more escapism on T.V. --where we don't have to come to terms with our neglect and abandonment.

Dance the dance
of bare feet

White America pretends
in their house,
it is safer -
than pretending on the streets.

Never was I natural,
never did I care
to be,
looking at those in natural law
