WHAT'S THE DELAY

the spirit upholds the skeleton ... the skeleton upholds the flesh ... do you see it holding up the body by the shoulders as we do bringing laundry home on a hanger ... or is it a hand under the shoulder in support of someone drunk or stunned ... or is it in the heart blessing each cell that passes ... something there is that's holding us up ... it could be a hanger or a helping hand or a blessing ... something there is that will not let go ... and will not let go ... what is it a virus that's got you by the throat and makes you cough ... it will not let you go ... or look the store detective has that boy by the arm ... a truant on vacation and a thief ... he will not let him go ... what a thing to argue with when for a while there is no appeal ... when every word you say bricks you up a little tighter ... this may take some time ... sit on the floor and listen to the story of the kings ... I will only tell you now it matters how they tell it ... there is a story of one king ... they tell it all the time ... you wonder how they dare ... with the noise of a great wind in the air
