Relative Faithful Consciousness

I haven’t said God
To you
Or me
This morning
Through I might have spoken
To God
Anyway

Yes
I know we say it
Different ways
Different
Intents
(too early
for
ontologies)

But I think
You know
I mean to say
Civilitied
Good morning
Or
Dear God
To start a prayer

As I stretched
And moved with
Care
Depending
On mindfulness
Toward the counter
To make
Coffee

Someone was there
(without Reed-Kellogg-
like
diagramming for
discovery)
And I think
(anyway)
I knew

Grumpy
And doesn’t God
Get grumpy
Too
Withholding a flood
But wanting to retaliate
In other ways

Or simply have us
With our wills
Go away
A while

Well
Maybe not
I guess God’s always on
Always perfect
Always love

Good morning
