slathering

some of us

slither

and slather

together

we love the same thing

and lots of it

we love the luscious song

of praise

and thanksgiving

and trees growing right up

out of the living room floor

we love the extraordinary

the surprise!

that the past

never showed us

we would that the tv

would simply light up

turn itself on and

Jesus Himself

would step out

live

as if he were there all the time

we would that Martians

were our neighbors

meeting us at the mailbox

to tell us of their extraordinary

voyage to get here...

we know each other

when we meet

because there is no hesitation

at all

we see the sparkle

in our eyes

and climb inside....:-)))
