first thing in the morning
my bad breath fogs the mirror
sighs expelled from my body
in time to the drip / drip / drip of the coffee
what if i threw this coffee cup at the back of god’s head?
did John the Baptist have a rock to call friend as he lay his body on the ground at night?
and when John the Baptist heard the voiceless words, was he woken from his dream to find the dust disturbed all around him?
“I guess I’m just someone who has given up on me and you” — is that what he muttered into his rock pillow, turning over to go back to sleep?Â
my coffee mug moves in slow motion towards the back of god’s head
and John the Baptist is about to wake up from his dream…
John
Um… JOHN
Joohn
…John?
JOHN
JOHN
JOOOHN
