Chapel Floor
~~~
I awoke in a strange place
beneath a strange light
surrounded by dozens of strange men
lying on the chapel floor…
~
They were scruffy and bewildered
tossed turned & turned again were they
all sleeping like smiling babies with
wings folded, arrows hidden in rumpled blankets…
~
I awoke right in the middle of this
pseudo Michael Angelo on the floor
I didn’t mean for this to happen
my life wasn’t supposed to come to this…
~
I was supposed to be wandering around in
the ghost town called Love, not
waking up in a Goonsville painting
then someone hit me in the head with a hammer…
~
I fell down
dreaming again…
