BABY BLOCKS
Letters first – the alphabet –
wooden blocks. I slowly got
to know them – A – B – C -

to know them – A – B – C -
then the rest of the letters -
all the way to Z. Words next….

Slowly you read to me.
Slowly I speak to you – word
by word. Hopefully God gets
in the mix. Hopefully Christ
for Christians gets into the picture.
Then the more – a lot more.

of water – cold and hot – and
the feel of wind on a winter day –

anger and being made fun of –
but most important – what we
really need is the feel of forgiveness.

was he nailing together his words?
When Jesus was a preacher,
when he was fishing with his words,
was he missing his carpenter days –
when he never heard yawns and
questions, challenges and rejections?

THE REMOTE
and aimed it right at me.
It didn’t shut me off.
He was surprised because
it worked every time
with the TV. It went off
when he wanted it off.
But it wasn’t able to
shut me off. I looked
him right in the eye.
He tossed the remote
on the floor and ran
into his bedroom
