The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:25pm

To Dr David Hamilton Wilson

over the telephone from My Hospital Room

by His prescription:

“I have so many thoughts coming in —

even one for a new religion

based on The Joanna Hyde School of Thought:

Believe In Your Self FIRST

THEN Believe In God”

“Some People will accept

Your Ideas

Some People Won’t”

 

God Says…

The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:46pm

“I Have A Very Simple Message —

It Should Not Be Hard To Grasp:

Man Is God

Is All I’ve Said

&

I

Am

Woman”

WHAT IF?

The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:15pm

What would happen

if The World

believed a 125 lb

white 53 year-old

North American female

is

God?

What if The World believed

Her Message

that The Human Race

is God?

 

VOICE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:40pm

Mine Is The Voice

Of The World

Calling Out

To Unmake Our Impoverished

Image Of Ourselves

Mine Is The Voice

Sounding Out

To Uphold Our Worthy Stature

To Uphold Our Strength Of Unity

As Human Beings

Emerging Like Microbes

Across Our Salinated Planet

Which Now Recognizes

My Authoritative Tone

As The Overseer

Whose Vision

Is As Clear

As Her Voice

TODAY

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:32pm

I walked across The Sky

Today

as It reflected along The Sand

at My Wet Feet

I pirouetted over Galaxies

of Shells, Kelp and Gull Droppings

until The Sea Foam

rushed around My Bare Ankles

and landed Me Ashore

I AM HERE

Barrington Passage 2:04pm

I Am Coming —

Oh My God —

I Am Coming Out —

I

Am

Your

God

I Am Here

not to tell You

what to do, or what

to Be —

I Am Here To Tell

You

We’re Fine

Just The Way

We Are

We Are Perfect

in Our Human Form

& We Are Divine

in Our Deaths

We Are The Divine

We Are All We Could Ever

Be

& We Are Loved

 

POWER OF THE PAGE

The Hawk Portico 12:15pm

There is Power in My Writing

It is not just Black

in Black’s simplicity

My Writing is All Colours

It is Alarm-bell Red for Stopping

It is Blue for Breathing

The Sky

It is Yellow for The Sun

It is Silver for Humanity

There is Power in Humanity

We are no longer

weaklings

groping Our Way

to death

We are Above death

for I have seen

The Light

of

Our Night

and I believe

We Are Eternal

LIFE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:00pm

The Silver Lights

crashed down

all around Me

& I cried out

“Oh My God

Oh My God!

Oh My God!!”

I

Am

The

Second Coming

of

Christ

I

Am

unravelling

The Mystery

of

The Meaning Of Life

an idea

which

cannot

be expressed

yet

I saw

It

in the dark

of a little hospital room

in

Shelburne, Nova Scotia

on March 31st, 1993

It, The Meaning

opened out to Me

like a pod

of

chocolate

I

saw

The Reason For Schizophrenia

I

saw

that I Am

The Reason

The Light

The Life

&

I will coat

My World

in the luscious

residue

of My Vision

until

The World

Gets

It

“I Am God”

The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:30pm

My Name Is

Joanna Gilman Hyde

and I Am The God

Who Fell From The Sky

& shaved off His Beard

& stuffed Tissue

down The Front Piece

of His Robe

& held up A Sign

for All The World To Read

saying “I Am Woman”

(& not a Transvestite)

SEASONAL FRUIT

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:30pm

Years ago long-haired Eve

offered a red apple

to Her Skinny Boyfriend

& The World Of Christianity Was Born

(or was It?)

Today We have a bunch

of ripe bananas

offered by Sheepish Boyfriends

to unsuspecting Girls

everywhere

& So We Have

The Second Coming
