Kerri Shying R # 241 Jesus ( of the Amundsens)

Jesus (of the Amundsens)

Jesus is staying  in America  

with the Amundsens

he did two years

in New South Wales

the big share house     then

footsore on the streets

in Cardiff

the suit of cotton    better

than a wool

everyone smiled

asking

about the garment

told him no

we got the bus

up to Weston

he told me

the crucifixion

was a story

blown out of all

proportion

and that the spear

in his side

was a dental procedure

It felt like they pulled that thing out

 through my nose

said Jesus

as we bumped up the Cessnock Road

in that shitty smear of a bus

while the big Double-B’s  

sounded like Wagner composing

on the pot-holed street

for our arrival

There was nothing

but clove oil 

 it may as well

have been a death

we hugged goodbye 

he bade me come to Utah

and see the Crystal Palace

Jesus    he was a legend
