God Is An Atheist
­– for Saccharine Trust & Michael Grover

oh, dear deaf god
the immutable
hear our
prayers

god the marching band
the rubber band
the inevitable circus clown &
trickster

god the hotline friend of
Bill W. & 420 somewhere god

the heartless hard-on
hard body god

the crippled & insane
in the membrane god

the esprit de corps
wounded warrior
ultimate body count
stacked against time

the wind of endless war beneath our crippled wings
the punch line in the small print of our contract with
the lawyer god

the invention
the suspension
the burning bridge to
Babylon

the road to hell
good intentions
good guy piss drunk god

god the love juice of eternity
the warp & woof spinning wheel of fortune
the machinery & oil of heaven
the receding wheat fields & inert corn
honey bee in the coal mine
broken levees & abandoned
delta soul of America

god the streetcar & desire
the ding & the ring
the cling & the clang

the street corner doo wop
backward dancing king of pop
the laughing asshole interzone mugwump
opiate of the masses &
all things holy god

god the spike of long haired black roses
blossoming in the main vein night train
& shimmering angels of meth
the needle & the pill
& erect glass johnson of
hopeless addiction

the step 'n fetch it tap dance
the ghetto rap
the rock & roll ritual &
heavy metal
glam god

the bearded folk singer
the living end
the coffee god

blonde death on the red carpet

the bulimic & anorexic
& the grand slam steroid
fix on the
game god

god the rubber chicken soup & scapegoat herder
the one liner & one night stand laugh track guffaw
the outrageous pimp of deadly desire & corpulent Corvettes
rolling across the firmament on
wheels of fire

god your mama
who's your daddy god
of bling & bang
thing & thang

god the G
zaftig madam of whorehouse earth
prostrate before god the
corporate john &
global bankroll

god of foot race
of rat race
& riot

wigged god of cities on fire
& radiant afterglow of
half & afterlife

god the black planet
the white light
& coloring box that
sees no other

god of cunt & cock
the hermaphrodite
the fag
the breeder
the cross eyed cross dressing queen of time
& transgender shock strut of both
he & she god

the curse of blood & gift of water
the dust of earth & dreams

the why me
cry me a river god

god the electric spark
one hit wonder
ultimate glass ceiling
honest answer & ain't it the
god's awful truth
god

god the aging hipster & the hip replacement
fashion mongering inbred

god the dictionary &
encyclopedia of terror

the byline
the horror
the unanswered prayer &
mitigated miracle

the joy
the laughing goat
the rhythm of life

the vibrating e string on the wild guitar
the buffalo bass & heavenly vibraphone
the salt of skin & bop bone of saxophone

the unforgettable
the sound & the fury
the eternally blind
the amputated
the starving

the homeless
profane sainted genius of the
stupid & the blissfully ignorant
virus in the wet blanket of
empire god

god the boiling light bulb
the omnipotent arms of Shiva
the starving Buddha at the root &
lusting Gandhi of Mohammed's mountain
tugging at the ragged beard of
Christ the destroyer

god the hard drive
the flip floppy

the immaculate broadcast
the hair plug & toothless sound bite

the big bang viagra of orgasm

the transcendental grief

all gods
the be gone & the bygone
of the truly gone
gods of go

& when god the bomb delivers the drop
the turn the other cheek &
take it up the ass
be here now god
as finally
the begin again god of
chance
of love
of magic & mysterious
mercy

rise as the new day
choir of fallout
& relief
mad dancing river of light
singing imagination is the spark
& love is the fire

burn!
