When The Jehovahs Knock
written by: Scott C. Kaestner
Grab my Indica gummies, put them
in a bucket, pretend it’s Halloween
and answer the door.
I listen to their pitch, happily accept
their pamphlet about a fiery
Armageddon and the time
of reckoning.
But before they leave I offer them
a gummy and suggest an alternate
path to god – eat one and head
to the beach, feel the light
call it a sacrament
if you like.
Extend the bucket, they decline
my offer so we part ways with
weird looks and the fortified
belief that some paths
aren’t meant to cross
some souls can’t
be saved.
