For the First Heaven and the First Earth Had Passed Away (And the Sea Was No More)

The earth split open like a Wonder Ball:
ooey-gooey chocolate, Jerusalem inside,
and twenty-four elders singing hymns--
I wonder, wonder, hmm I do, I hoo.

Salvation Grammar

What must I do to inherit eternal life?
I must do what--
the active voice.
I,
the agent of both 
sentence and salvation.

But never mind that little child--
a metaphor
made for
making rich young rulers
object to grace.
