The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:00pm
I speak with a forked tongue
out of both sides
of My Mouth
polished teeth gleaming
I am The Devil
to Whom I give no credence
I am set to announce
The Second Coming
not of Christ
but of Global
Darkness
set before The Light
The Hawk West Desk Window 6:34pm
My Famous Shower Of Lights
was not blinding
Its Radiant Spears
Snapped Me To Attention
and Made Me See
For An Eternity
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:15pm
Sprung from a Cathedral Ceiling
in a House of 2000 Years
I sat below
rapid-fire spears of Silver Light
speechless
but for The Exclamation:
“Oh My God”
“OH MY GOD”
“OH MY GOD!!!”
