THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT THE KITCHEN SINK
by miraclewhip
#1 Ichi in His Underpants
I heard a man name Ichi say,
He embraced the ungod,
was startled and thrilled by his very nothingness one day,
standing in his underpants in the kitchen--
not the ungod in his underpants in the kitchen mind you--
but Ichi, himself, underpants-clad, steaming coffee cup in hand.
They say, to feel superior to folk, one might picture them in their underpants,
But I feel no superiority to Ichi, not even when I see him--Ichi--there as he is, and will be,
without so much as a loincloth to hide behind,
naked and laid bare
beneath the Word of him with whom we'll have to do.
All of us.
I tremble for Ichi with a fear he has not yet come to know,
or has carelessly discarded, rid himself of,
with the used coffee grounds,
with yesterday's paper,
with the outmoded idea of the Being called Love.
