So Be It. Amen.
There are people who don’t want Kierkegaard to be
A humpback, and they’re looking for a wife for Cézanne.
It’s hard for them to say, “So be it. Amen.”
It’s hard for them to say, “So be it. Amen.”
When a dead dog turned up on the road, the disciples
Held their noses. Jesus walked over and said:
“What beautiful teeth!” It’s a way to say “Amen.”
“What beautiful teeth!” It’s a way to say “Amen.”
If a young boy leaps over seven hurdles in a row,
And an instant later is an old man reaching for his cane,
To the swiftness of it all we have to say “Amen.”
To the swiftness of it all we have to say “Amen.”
We always want to intervene when we hear
That the badger is marrying the wrong person,
But the best thing to say at a wedding is “Amen.”
But the best thing to say at a wedding is “Amen.”
The grapes of our ruin were planted centuries
Before Caedmon ever praised the Milky Way.
“Praise God,” “Damn God” are all synonyms for “Amen.”
“Praise God,” “Damn God” are all synonyms for “Amen.”
Women in Crete loved the young men, but when
“The Son of the Deep Waters” dies in the bath,
And they show the rose-colored water, Mary says “Amen.”
