God Says Yes To Me

This poem--I don't believe in god, but there's something about it that just makes me feel like dancing.


God Says Yes To Me
Kaylin Haught

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

Fable
Louise Gluck

Then I looked down and saw
the world I was entering, that would be my home.
And I turned to my companion, and I said Where are we?
And he replied Nirvana.
And I said again But the light will give us no peace.

SEPTIMUS: Take your essay, I have given it an alpha in blind faith. Be careful with the flame.

THOMASINA: I will wait for you to come.

SEPTIMUS: I cannot.

THOMASINA: You may.

SEPTIMUS: I may not.

THOMASINA: You must.

SEPTIMUS: I will not.

She puts the candlestick and the essay on the table.

THOMASINA: Then I will not go. Once more, for my birthday.

I just read it a couple of days ago, and am enamoured of Thomasina! What a lovely ending it was. ♥

Oh my god, oh my god, But the light will give us no peace. Shivery and so so wonderful, oh, thank you.

(This post is totally inspired by our quote-off from way-back-when, btw. I can't find the stupid comment notification, and I know it was my turn.)
