INVISIBLE

No heavenly celebrant

Or person of conscience

Could ignore the gigawatt smile.

On the child’s dirty epoxy-smooth face

Its mother was homeless.

Yet the baby’s innocent giggles could outsell her gloom.

The respectable people walked past the

Moneyless Madonna and child

But the poor who knew hunger gave all.

The 100 Gigawatt Preacher

The

one hundred

gigawatt TV tower

broadcast its celebrant,

standing at his cardboard pulpit,

held together by epoxy:

"This is the Kingdom Hour!"

He smiled and greeted them all,

He knew full well he could outsell

Every pastor on the air,

Holding keys to every question

Anyone would dare.

Celebrant! of

[epoxy]

dreams,

<outsell> the night,

where neon

beams.

{Gigawatt}

whispers,

electric streams,

poet's heart beats,

defying

schemes.

Words surge,

power's

surge,

ignite the mind,

sparks

and circuits,

synergy we find.

In

twilight's shroud,

where words

collide,

electric symphony,

souls

confide.

Gigawatt reverie,

where only her

imagination

breathes.

Meghan

Meghan the witch thought

She would outsell herself,

With sticky expoxy,

Celebrant performing at

1,000 gigwatts.

Oh, hell fire, frogs legs, green slim

Let things happen quick,

So that no morons will be

Left?

To enter earths atmosphere

Before the dawning of light.

Meghan smiled standing on

The rock.

HOLY CHURCH Of The GIGAWATT

Long live the HOLY CHURCH Of The GIGAWATT

By the sacrament of the incandescence

Bless its radiation

Kathodes cased in candy-color epoxy

Our altar before which we stand in reverence

Plasticine celebrants

Excessive evangelism eats night sky

Outsells your moon and stars ev'ry sales quarter

Holy blindedness

Holiest burning
