the hard and easy life

yet
God is not a spoilsport
as Liddell
says
if only in the movie

God likes
say
and when celebrates in muscle
and in mind
and in
fair conviction

soccer
the world’s game
Rook
the card game Southerners allow
the pleasures in a holiday
the love
we bear each other

God is the god of pleasure as well
as meaning
and simply pleasure to own
as
a creation and
pursuit

some
might say incidental or
byproduct
but
we know who created fun
and
yes
the good clean kind
