ZUCCHINI AND GOD
Okay, you’re putting God off
till you’re retired and you have
a wondering if both of you
will be ready for each other
before the casket or the cancer
grabs you like a crab underwater.
Step back, relax, remember
the two of you connected
a few times
down through the years - and probably
better than some church goers.
For example, remember the joy
you felt that night you walked home alone
having just proposed to your wife....
Or that time you saw your first grandchild ….
Or that time you were sitting there
with family at your dad’s funeral ….
Or that time you cried - you actually
cried - after your neighbor whom you
never said hello to, gave you 26 zucchini
and about 2 dozen tomatoes.
