Kit Kelen #942 - everyone was God once

942

everyone was God once 

 

no names then

you just had to see

and it would all be

could make what you liked

tell whoever would listen

or no one at all

it was an everyday here-we-are making

a very reasonable thing

everyone was God once

that was before all the trouble it caused

no names

it was we ourselves resounded

you didn't have to believe in breakfast

it was a frugal time we all had

vanity!

everyone began making gods

and saying they'd always been

would forever

some of them looked just like me

just like you

there was listening at the door

but never heard the upstairs trample

we were named naming to begin

avatars of inkling fallen

no trouble at all

and time behind us, time ahead

everyone was God once

that's a story to tell

I make up all my own material

it's good to be God

in the poem

he said

you'll just have to

take that for gospel
