Love Letter 293 Obstacle Course to God

Because all the saints are watching
I rub my holy ghost

Because all the saints are watching
I prefer soft lighting

Because all the saints are watching
I wear my glasses as a signal I am getting close

Because all the saints are watching
I rob myself the pleasure of being too sure

Because all the saints are watching
I hold myself accountable for daring acts of dualism

Because all the saints are watching
I host parties in my head where everything goes well

Because all the saints are watching
I feel that sobriety is a dinosaur I must clone and revive

Because all the saints are watching
I am infested with insults like cobwebs my broom can't reach

Because all the saints are watching
I have heard illogical things sound very very likely

Because all the saints are watching
I have tucked in the corners of my bed, put my lights out, and pretended to sleep

Because all the saints are watching
I have let you go, wishing you luck, but secretly wishing all that luck
for me

Because all the saints are watching
I have given up listening to Rock n Roll and meditated on my breath
which sounds a lot like "Stairway to Heaven"

Because all the saints are watching
I have hit my children less and prevented a multitude of curse words

Because all the saints are watching
I have cursed my hitting, shouting, flinching, fearing

Because all the saints are watching
I have finally just said "What are you waiting for?"

Because all the saints are watching
They can finally help
me become a human being
and not an obstacle course to God

I Love You
Your Beloved
