YMCA Holy Man
His TV blares resurrection blues With phantoms of the YMCA opera Words born of my naïveté: “The suburbs are for the middle class.” His removal of my anesthesia: “Everything is for them. You are doing some thinking on this old world.” In his face the ghost of Frederick Douglas An exorcist of cloudy propaganda “Where would you want to be other than here?” “In the mountains.” On a morning like the last judgment “Don’t you feel pleasure from anything? Surely your bare feet on the floor.” “If I were in heaven I’d be happy.” “Some people wouldn’t be happy in heaven.” In his wake Harriet Tubman follows Restless to liberate another soul

Love your tag my friend. This one was based on someone I knew back when I lived in the YMCA in Denver. He was a wise man who helped me find perspective.

This is a cool write, John. Sometimes it's a good think to have our assumptions shaken up & stirred.
