RESPONSIBLE


The God of Penn Station hasn't met
The God of All Things but he's seen Him
Speaking at conferences and conventions.
Apparently, He isn't busy these days
And accepts invitations to gatherings
Of lesser gods. He sits on panels
Telling stories about His youth. Due
To inflation, these stories have grown complex
Not one Eve but troops of her; not one Adam
But an entire kickline, and some that sing bass
In harmony with sweet tenor snake voices.
At a Q and A session the God of Penn Station
Asked for advice on the pigeons who have colonized
Tracks Sixteen, Fifteen and Twelve. God said
Pigeons were not His fault but had been left
From a different creation altogether which,
For obvious reasons, no longer existed.
