If there's a god,
I hope it's not a being;
I hope it's a sprawling, well-run
administrative building
with plenty of large wrought-iron
revolving door entrances,
polished silver elevators,
gleaming marble kiosks,
and an elaborate network
of cordoned-off lines
which any person
(who's appropriately dressed)
can enter
(during regular hours),
perform as directed,
and then leave again
lighter on their feet
and feeling ever so relieved
for having gotten some
troublesome business done.
