thinking of God arrests the mind

for godsbother

 

all the books of the past

and nature resemble

 

it’s from first fears

and frozen there

where someone saw advantage

 

consider the vastness of all that is

then was

then will be

 

an ant’s worth of knowledge

the universal nest in this image

antennae waggle

 

it makes the many what can’t be one

like the idea numbers add up

 

thinking of God will do in the head

 

the biggest thing that’s not at all

don’t mention it

 

peripheral movement might distract

or is this just the starter’s gun?

 

a galaxy far far away

 

there’s nothing answered

nothing asked

 

all this animal chatter

takes down the mind mid-flight

 

fairies and unicorns

dragons and my pookah too

 

a once upon of king and sword

how things are as must be

comply!

 

thinking of God erodes the mind

it undermines the will

 

if you go there

or say ‘surrender’

then no thought’s required

 

a relief!

 

and all the joy in wonder

reserve it for yourself

 

others are unticketed

 

as if once bitten

so God spreads

 

great paw reached from a renamed sky

scooped the brain right off

 

thinking it nods the head

it makes the living as good as dead

 

this is time piled

until we’re gone

 

it isn’t thinking at all
