12 Minutes with God

Grace Church, Broadway.
Organ meditation, 4pm.

I'm all over the place,
but my feet are here
in these ugly Hokas. 

I am writing poetry
in the pew,
the hymnal of 1982.

I peed at Grey Dog on University
and got a coffee with half-and-half
and a splash of time travel.

In a week from Tuesday,
I will be sliced open again,
but right now I am here. 

Under the stones and stained glass,
trying to talk to Hashem,
who goes by a different name in this place.

But it is the same in my case,
and I am hungry and my phone is on 4%,
but this is time well spent.

After praying, 
I walk by Union Square,
and remember old lives. 

Gratitude, infinite. 
Nostalgia, invaluable.
