‘OVERCOMERS CHURCH’

says the sign.

Coming over what?
You wonder, tongue bulging

against the pant of your mouth.

For you are without doubt.

Absolutely certain

that the worshippers within

would not find your flippancy

the least bit funny.

My life has been the poem I would have writ by Henry David Thoreau

My life has been the poem I would have writ
But I could not both live and utter it.
