The Theology of Sickness
by Aaron BlairTheologically speaking, I believe that god
is tucked inside my vertebrae;
that the act of creation will forcefully bend my spine,
and, therefore, my only aspiration in life is to be a divine pretzel.
Or not.
Who are we meant to blame when we break?
Because I refuse to be held responsible.
I want my body to sort itself out without consulting me.
This is not too much to ask. 02/01/2007 Posted on 02/07/2007

"Who are we to blame when we break?" Indeed.....we are a generation of pointing fingers.... well, I can see this little ditty of yours has set me off in many directions. I better go find my roadmap and get back on track here. Thank you. |
