Spirit made flesh
made wrong.
Heaven’s wayward seed
that spent too long in the belly.
The Father didn’t want him
but Mama held on.
He framed a blank piece of paper
and called it Dad.
When he needed a mirror,
he cut a potato in half.
He stood bent as a toenail
and scuttled like a crab.
He had seven toes
and called them disciples.
He learned to multiply with tadpoles
and crackers.
He once fell in love with a waterfall.
He only cried in the rain after that.
He turned Pepsi into gin
in the tub. He drank fire
and pissed smoke.
He had a pet tree named Rigor Mortis
and swore when he spoke in tongues.
He heard he had a brother
who also hung around trees.
He left home to find him
and walked the wilderness
like it was water.
