refocus the camera
on the old theatre
now showing holy rollers
and immigrant Pentecostals
fashionably dressed repentants
eating Thai food at noon —
they know Jesus
Jesus digs them on Wednesday
maybe through Thursday
but Friday’s open for interpretation
seen in a beacon yellow & red
Jesus Saves in profile
below a blue sky pie
inside the shadows
nobody understands
the baby ain’t been blessed
in black & white tears
beyond ten thousand graveyards
a weary song weeps
and silence hums
for the blue-eyed son
not knowing what to do
