Black Light was not Needed

  Black Light was not Needed

I used to wear my heart a little wet

With Day Glo blood, and pumping, on my sleeve,

A pulse of adolescent scarlet, jet,

Throb, jet in all directions.  No steel greave

Protected it politely in this show.

Beats warbled as a sobbing gospel song

Instead of being like the ordered glow

Of Isaac Watts, a hymn that moves along

The nave in measures of decorum, pace

On pace to grandeur.  It was all just “I”

And “me,” though Jesus had his place

Because His Sacred Heart was like my sigh.

..A teenage boy can send out sounds like dread

.

……Appeals, loud silent sounds like infrared.
