speaking of God out loud in the pancake house
on a first name basis
and that's the truth I saw some people
shift in their booth
and look at me as though from Mars
I had descended and upended earth's last copy of
the Big Book of the Big Bang Theory.
I am so weary I said like some Poe heroine
fainting away an emblem of a mythical day
that crumbled along with the bacon
looks like I've awakened oh
I'm so sorry it troubles you
that I speak His name in gold
and up there too
with all the stars He made.
and i love pancakes too
and I'm not from the zoo
but I'll say I love you to Him oh
any old where.
even if you stare.
