and respectful confusion (once
language got going)
about what constituted worship
and what was just delighted
saying of the names of things,
which persists. So as for the god
of the squeak of clean hair,
of your hand out the car window
wind-lifted, of the small shades under hat brims
and not excluding
the banned gods of leaf-fires and tobacco,
oh and definitely including
she of the coffee-breath and fine cold hands
who says Sit down friend and let’s see,
let’s just see, and certainly
my other god, he of Least Resistance
who decrees what is going to happen anyway,
who listens only to prayers that end
Let all be as Thou will’st, who grants
only my wish to believe in him,
and with the possible exception only of the god of making a list
of all the other gods, who gets distracted and forgets so many
that suddenly the universe is His and only His,
praise them.
