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.
