Act Confused: Someone Might Save You
This is a real story so you can do things to it like real bodies.
Substitute carrots for the washing, the kneeling for potatoes,
Maybe get rock star parking. Anything here for anything there.
Walls for ice. Submarines for cornflakes. God points and today
we eat. Tomorrow he’ll have no hands. I should have told you.
The trinity is a trick. What does it matter if it’s one man or three?
A war is a war is a war.
Savior
