Sacred Highlighter
words lifted out of their mundane fonts
translucently reborn by the holy obelisk
held between the fingers.
academic talisman...
baptiser of all memo's and textbooks.
speaking in accents niether above
nor below the blue college ruled lines.
sanctified in a cloak of pure light.
Separating all that is secular from sacred.
set in italics along ornamental chapters,
the red lettered jesus walks down galilean shores
with a # 2 pencil and highlighter in his pocket.
prophesying of some alphabetical
ressurection through golden ink,
highlighter and highpriest of all that is
written.
