ALONE IN THE

KITCHEN QUESTIONS

Does God cry and laugh and sing?
Does God wait to watch the sun rise and sun set?
Does God enjoy a child enjoying a lollypop?
Does God know the taste of a morning cup of coffee?
Does God read the obituaries
or the morning newspaper Op-Ed columns
or the sports stories from the night before?
Does God wince when an amputee
is putting on his morning leg?

God do You have questions?

God, sometimes I would like to have some answers.

God, sometimes I feel like I’m living
in the freezer part of the refrigerator.

God, I bet You don’t know what that feels like.
