God Was Insulted

when you told me there is only one
and one way to look at Him –

never at Wal-Mart, though frequently
spotted purchasing a new shirt and jeans

at Goddessa, ‘for the truly blessed’
in matters of fashion, ethics

or buying arms from America for rebels
who dream of genocide in Africa

He suggested to me, in a lengthy dream,
that he understood the pirates of Somalia

I can’t credit him with any statements,
he has never integrated himself

into the infrastructure of a community
