Signs You Carry the Presence of God
You may have a recurring dream
that you are not really the jerk
you believe yourself to me.
You may wake-up with a hangover
but can’t recall what caused it,
this is a sure sign.
Sitting on the side of the bed to meditate,
you may realize it’s far too late -
you gotta get going;
blinking you mumble “feck it.”
A voice in your head says: ”Go get em kid.”
You may plod barefoot
into the kitchen to brew coffee
only to stub your toe
on the edge of some hard reality
the sharp stab of pain
sets you off cussing again.
Meanwhile God has translocated
from His ineffable presence within the within;
to grab your mind and shove it up your butt.
You laugh but seriously have to visit the toilet.
What more signs do you need?
