The Reason

once upon a time
a Roy Cohn
read little Donald 
a story about Pinocchio
a little boy 
who when he died
and rose to hell 
for every lie he told on earth
his yellow colored pet wood pecker 
the same color as his hair
and his essence
would grow a fraction of an inch
and all his ex pals would be there
to be amazed 
and call him the golden one
