NaPoWriMo, Day Eighteen, Poem Fifteen

Slowly but surely.

Poem

Whole sections of Genesis
recoginized as lifted
even by decade-long
lasped Catholics
Tree of knowledge
uprooted and
planted in your poems
Don't you think we know
the source of their creation
hidden in broken line
and remaining white space
the way radio DJ's
hide n----- jokes
under bits of dead air
You go up on stage
die each time
only to return to stage
the following week
Jesus can't appreciate
the grandstanding.
