Some mornings I wake up thinking
“The
Egyptian was right! Heaven
Is surely made of smoke!” But then
I start wondering, After all, the
Irishman
Saw a cold and rook delighting Heaven
While the Bible builds it of gold
And pearls, jasper and crystal –
A vast Faberge egg, lovely but not
Much use if you’re
hungry. Perhaps
The American soldier had it right
Saying Heaven and Hell and Hoboken
Have much in common.
