gaze
at every single face
you see
you’ve probably heard
that God masquerades
as all these characters
waitress bank teller homeless
husband mother friend son
using one eye
like an impotent spy
He watches life
from a billion perspectives
so well-disguised
it takes a lucky glance
to spot Him
before He shrinks
into the shadows
still I have this feeling
God gets a charge
playing hide and seek
and losing
