A Conversation with Self

....on my way to the Pearly Gates

 

Any moment now
Tick tock
Boy I\'m jumpy
Nervous!
Weird thoughts
rummaging
Should I smile
Stand straight
Rumpled clothes
Should have ironed
Too late
Who cares
I do
Now!


Up elevator or down
If I could have done things differently
You want to go thru these issues now
What a trickster
There\'s no one else
No one to row the boat -
to take me to the judgement hall
What? No lynching horde to filet my bones
Am I to be the judge and jury as well

Naked are my deeds
Fear has me in its vice
