Foucault gets drunk on Good Friday

What knowledge can be 
more powerful than 
knowing that You are
God?

A thousand different 
things I would do if 
I suppose I were 
You.

I snap my fingers
Calvary would have 
turned into a crois-
sant.

Your trick turning blood
into wine but I 
prefer a Pinot
Noir.

Pontius Pilate I 
would have turned him in
to crumbling cheese of
blue.

Yet two thousand years
ago, You knew that
the Word that made all
words 

possible will end,
life lived well will meet 
a staggered humble
death.

And I, contemplat-
ing this last bottle
shake my head as I
sleep.

Friday Night Rhapsody

What could be a better deal than this?
I give you my money
You give me in 
toxi
cation.

The spirit I can’t hear it.
No, I can’t see it. 
Only one way to do it
in
toxik
cayshen.

Smile when I smell it
Taste but no tether
it won’t give me in
tohksi
cayshen.

I gulp and I'm done
I'm done and I'm gone.

This is how we live today
distracted by the focus
focused on distraction.

In
tok
shi
kay
shen.
