Sometimes clouds
take on a phony quality – stratus formations –
Like cumulus left on the fire, melted around the edges, and flattened.
Disgusting, really, especially against a blue sky. Today, in Walgreens,
where I was buying Crest toothpaste with Cavity Protection –
Cool Mint Gel – which I'm currently too lazy to get out
of the car, I almost crashed into Shirley Conway from Northwest
Ireland. Twice and wishing. We were having an end-of-aisle dance,
a late afternoon bump-in-the-night experience. Magic is, and people
do their best to wipe it out. I think Christianity's to blame ...
If you cement everything over with the deification of dead people
and their absurd notions of "how to be good," you can't
see much that's real. Organized religion is like a glue factory,
binding what might be better left unbound.
