Trinity
Some say none.
Others say one.
Some say three
in one and then say
one of the three
is two in one,
divine and human.
Every day it seems
more say none.
Easier to talk
with those who say
one but those who
say three in one
and one of the three
is two in one,
divine and human,
they confirm a truth
none will understand here.
Good News Grips Midnight Phil
Phil doesn’t go to church
but after midnight he enjoys
watching preachers on TV
swing their bibles in the air,
march across the stage, yell
about the joys of heaven and
louder about the pains of hell.
He likes to see believers sing,
raise their arms and dance
in ecstasy down the aisles.
They might be on to something,
Midnight Phil thinks, clicking
his remote and wondering
if they could be right and if
they are, what about his bones.
Where will they lie after midnight.
