FREELANCES

At times God, Who has

Illimitable choices,

Decides to be fictional.

Those who pray wake up

To see exiting angels 

Who've left a pre-printed card 

"We regret that, for now,

God is a collection of

Literary tropes and

Psychic projections.

Your patience is appreciated

While we work to correct this." 

Those with urgent problems 

Of the heart are well-advised

To submit prayers to

Tashtego, Queegqueeg and Dagoo,

Late of The Pequod.

Sophisticated supplicants

Will wait for the second

Or even third response;

The first will always be

"Try throwing a harpoon at it."
