A STAYED MIND, a poem [F, 11-17-17]


Is it a lie
to sing, “Woke up this morning
with my mind
stayed on Jesus,”
if you really woke up
with your mind stayed
on coffee
and the trash and recycling
the faces of grandchildren
the pink tinge where sky
and tree tops meet…
But that song about Jesus
and being stayed on him
has such a nice lilt
as you drag to the curb
all sorts of garbage
