something slimey forward slithers

The I.R.S. is doing what they can to prevent this,
but this is like a tsunami of fraud.
Everywhere I go, every dinner, every function I attend,
someone will come up to me and tell me they are a victim.

the "A" word chronicle

six weeks into alleluias
six weeks into attesting incessantly
to the ancient truth of eternal newness
and alleluias still ring forth
while most the world is deaf to it
still the voices insist
alleluia
