you know the game
where a story is whispered
around a circle of people
and the final version is way off?
I hope that’s not the Bible with
words forgotten or imagined
exiting and entering the truth
a final cobble of skewed reality
only two of the books
of the New Testament
with endless dialogues of Jesus
are his disciples’ accounting
all the rest are what they said
he said
they being the eating, drinking
group around the table, writing
down things passed by groups
from many years of drinking tables
from my experience, if that game
goes on too long, facts can become
hilarious fiction
though I suppose if people stop
laughing, it could turn serious
and into a non-fable
yeah, I don’t know, just tell me
when it’s time for an Amen
