Sundays Without Should
Remember the Sabbath
to keep it holy
free of Shoulds.
A should-free cathedral
of intimate athleticism
romantic
exotic
ecstatic
euphoric
erotic
Exhausts this sabbath light
at long last
widely dawning deeply stronger
and resiliently handsome
dark as night
In virtuously enlightening response
to Saturnight's weekly exorcism
annihilating
exhausting
expiring
Yet another weekday week
weak slow-groan degenerjism
Darkly precipitating
sweaty penetrating night seductive mares
aggravating
congregating
irritating
neighing
sedating
constipating
All my life
I've been waiting for you
my Sunday not not should
embrace every daytime athlete
with unconditional
warm felt regard
Up on two feet
with spiritually natural intent
of sabbath hot passions
including,
but not exclusively hoarding,
frontal poles
and backside holes
Balancing sabbaths neurosensory integrity
extending virally out and virtuously circling in
stretching strength
of bilateral heart pumps
and lung inflations
and limb elations
stretching Sunday loves
and bipartisan 1 plunging into 0
every polynomial weekday
binomial cooperative
co-invested
convexly concaved
not-not straight but spiraling round
wholesome inside/outside balance
In co-empathic sabbath passions
free of shaming Others
preaching teaching virginal should not
remember SaturNightMare's
BlackHole peak experience
anticipating this new athletic Sunday Service
ReMembering
ReIncarnating
ReLigioning Sabbath
to keep it holy
free of Othering Shoulds.
