Of All the Gods We Saw

God is dead. Jesus killed him. With a dagger of lost faith that was
handed to him by a man named Paul. And all the people rejoiced by the
light of the lantern that lit the dark day. And Jesus, he waded through
water while talking to his hands. As across town Fellow Man sat down to
dinner "This meat is cold" he told his wife as she wiped her gown from
his eyes. "The colder the better, my dear, but the bone still remains"
she replied with a smile. While Turkeys were flying over their heads
and landing in the land of the fat and juicy. Then a Woman appearred to
Jesus and told him not to take his hat off, and if ever he laughed at
the sky's color she would grant him a mute heart. Just then a window
opened and out jumped Worth and Les, who had been together ever since
Jesus was born, they told him to open his eyes to the color of the sky.
But Jesus grew frightened of the way Worth was looking at his feet and
his hands grew cold and grey so he refused. And Worth and Les grew
tired of Jesus and went on their way to find someone new to play with.
Then the Goddess of Dreams came and visited Jesus and told him the same
thing the Woman did but with different letters between each vowel.
Jesus refused again and sat down upon a pile of rocks used by negroes
to build trivial things for the Shiny Man on the horse.
