OCD

 

That curled 

serpent, crawling 

along my cubicle 

cabinet, is the ballpoint pen 

that you,

(unintentionally),

left on top of it.

Whose Will?

 

‘Will power’ in purg-

ation, will I still have it?

Now, I’m here, and know

The answer to this question:

“My will” put me in these fires.

Second Hand

 

It’s FORM first: fashions

Mankind in ways His Mind knew

Before time passed one.

Clarity

 

I know why people shy away from prayer:

it’s done within the head.

what’s done in the head, after all,

is weighted with much uncertainty and suspect.

think about it:

the distractions,

the impositions,

the crude intrusions,

the false starts,

the flush of emotions,

the bevy of baneful ideas,

the rethinking that has to get done all of the time.

is there any wonder to second guess it?

yet it’s here we’re taught: 

to believe, 

to talk, 

to listen 

to our Almighty, 

the Creator of all things, and

it either is or isn’t true.

my head path is either:

one in the same with the maniacal or

one where 

One truly provides

the Holy clarity that I lack.
