of eternity's math
equation, let
the afterlife
be equal to
endless equivocation.
*
The real first sacred mystery
is that, after the creation,
god would find himself
of several minds
about seeing his image
in the mirror again.
*
After listening
to their speeches
and sermons for so long,
they start to sound less
like accusations
and more like
clever loopholes
or contextual breeches:
in heaven
you'll be surrounded
by familiar faces—
the only difference
in hell is you'll see them
in bewilderingly
unfamiliar situations
and places.
