Ecclesiasties and Socrates

Meaningless. Meaningless

Everything is meaningless

Like chasing the wind

In the futility of life

(I have found)

nothing.

Waste and void.

Unless

We serve the light

The light which is meaning

Which gives us light

All is lost

But

Light

Serve the light

For your life is nothing, dust that dances

Serve the light.

The Gadfly in the street-

Sting.

Buzz.

Bite.

I will not stop

I will not stop telling you-

Meaningless

Vain and profitless seem to me

the uses of this

world

There is nothing but

Light.

coffee Jesus

your Jesus is very kind

i went and sat inside his walls today

and sang

"O Come 0 Come Emanuel, and randsom captive Israel"

and called upon a God of muffins

and coffee and tea

to refill my cup, if you please

I like this Jesus, he's nice to me.

On the way home i passed a place

with no windows

and began to wonder

if Jesus like's coffee after all

and if he can creep in the dark

through broken cubicles

without spilling his tea

to share muffins with eyes

that glaze over with numb resignation

to pain

if perhaps there is really

any meaning

to "randsom captive Israel"

i wonder what we really mean

and if we are familiar with a Jesus greater than tea.
