I've been living under
heavenly rules
for most of my life.
I've been working with
a handyman's tools.
Masking tape
and a razor knife.
I've seen illustrations of
heavenly jewels
and Streets of Gold.
A man on a cross.
Hallelujah's to them that got found.
Hallelujah to them that's lost.
I've been climbing over
heavenly rules
that made little sense to me.
I've been kissing fools and smoking Kools.
No doubt.
No apology.
