Talk About The Passion

A friend -
former Jew,
now born-again
billboard,

GOT JESUS?
across his chest
embossed in sans
serif

with a fresh splash
of blood across
the question -
not his blood.

He says
I’m going to Hell
when I die -
well, goddamn.

He circles the court
like a pent-up
hamster,
perpetual,

Earl the Pearl
parting seas
on his way to
the goal.

I make sure
to say my piece
as he swoops towards
my arm,

and as the ball rolls
away, I help him up,
because that’s the way
I was raised.
