Poetry: Last Line By Jonathan Hayes

Last Line
after Jim Harrison

 

“Man shits his pants and trashed God’s body.”
 
Man shits his pants and goes home early from work
God works in mysterious ways
 
Man shits his pants and smells his mess
God smells like shit
 
Man shits his pants and doesn’t give a fuck
God doesn’t judge him
 
Man shits his pants and throws away his underwear
God is naked all the time
 
Man shits his pants and laughs out loud
God laughs along with him
 
Man shits his pants and tries to hide it
God sees everything
 
Man shits his pants and writes a poem 
God smiles
