No one's looking.
Didn't anybody hear?
Boy!
And it's such a great idea
God has given me.
I'll try to say it loudly,
not too proudly,
but with conviction.
Haven't they noticed
my "revelation"?
And how come, on a Wednesday,
when I get up to relate it
my words become a jumbled mess—
not at all the way I planned?
No one comes to thank me
for sharing my inspiration . . .
Wait a minute!
These are your friends!
Somewhere in the distance a rooster crows.
Wake up! It's Thursday morning.
Your thrice denials are thrice forgiven.
Wanderer,
let go your false sense of reality.
Open up your eyes and see
what the Master really meant when he said,
"Be ye therefore perfect."
