30 Questions/30 Days, Day 12

Charles Coe pitches another one again.  

1. If Jim Morrison were still alive, would he be a Scientologist by now?

Naaaah.  Morrison by most accounts I've read/seen was pretty shameless.  It seems doubtful that he would have any skeletons in his closet for the Church of Scientology to get their claws into him.

Now, Jim Morrison becoming baptized or born again or accepting Jesus Christ?  Now that I can see.  So let's close out with the following...

Jim Morrison on The Sabbath

He wakes up in a sweat again.

He should never have eaten

so close to his cut off time.

Food just before he fasts

brings out the only demons

he still sees anymore.

Tonight was the Lizard King,

again.  At least, that's what

it said it was, but when

it has your face, who knows?

He's not sure if he doesn't eat
to focus his mind or because
it helps keep the pesky weight off.

His wife still sleeps, so used
to his past restless nights.  It's her
reward, he thinks, and he heads

to his writing desk, covered in
the dust of sloth.  It's hard to
write when your  poems all 

end with God.  But if it all 
comes from the same source,
then isn't it all homage?  

Thirsting for eucharist
for all the wrong reasons
he recites his prayers until

they become song until
he stops himself at the wall
not broken through in years.
