Literature Text

God’s favorite concert was a ‘98
jam session in a hellish
amphitheater downstairs.
The producer booked
the big ones – Hendrix, Cobain,
Joplin, Johnson – one night
only, fallen stars rise again!

Saints they ain’t, but God
has one ear for prayers
and one for souls wailing
soul into a void with no echo,
no applause, no expectation
of anything more than their own
relief.

And when you’re top billing
in the Morning Star Concert Hall,
the fans are the only comfort
you’ve got left.
"Heaven for the climate, hell for the company."

- Mark Twain

A very different one for my God does ordinary things series. Mainly because the focus here isn't really on God, but I still really like this one.
