I was
walking through a tunnel
toward a white hot light
beckoned by angelic shadowplay
serenaded by a choir of hidden castrati
lured by a vision of salvation
as I salivated from a great thirst
for knowledge of the happily ever after
laughter taking me over as I was getting
the punch line of this cosmic joke
heavenly and hilarious
then just before I said
hello to my halo
I awoke
from that cloudy whipped cream
within a dream
to the God
spelled backward
housebroken
beast in my bed who was
surely dreaming of biscuits
or of trading an
animal kingdom
for a squirrel
