Poems

I'd rather give audience to Spirit

From the May 1988 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I really wasn't enjoying the show
playing on my stage of consciousness—
sad, depressing, even frightening,
and with a cast of characters
no one could love.

"The show must go on." It must?
Must something so bad have a good run?
Then I had an angel of an idea:
I stopped watching; took away the audience.
And the show closed!
