I saw god walking along the side of the road
but before he saw me
I pushed the pedal down and left him
sputtering in the dust.
Can you imagine running away from god?
But he did not curse me or even cause
pestilences and plagues,
or even smite a single, tiny gnat.
He just smiled and kept walking--
He knows how to find me.

Hey,
I don't know how this will appear, but I'm hoping it's something I can' use to talk to you before you post a comment. I realize it can be a bit of a turn off to have your comments submitted for moderation and not posted immediately. I post every comment I get, I just want to know that I've gotten one. So I'm not as controlling as it may seem. So tell me what you think! Thank you.

Andrew, this was really good. I started off this morning by reading the poem ZERO in "I heard God laughing" by Hafiz/Ladinsky. I woke up with the sensation of having had conversations with god in my dream who had told me that I count too much. And reading your poem made me laugh myself and I know this day will be interesting. Thanks!
