Poetry Gong - Poem 26
Sometimes, Nothing At All Happens
Come, all you who are thirsty, come to the waters; and you who have no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why spend money on what is not bread, and your labor on what does not satisfy? Listen, listen to me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of fare.” Isaiah 55.1-2.
Jesus delivered the milk today.
I was expecting the mailman,
tromping through the fallen

Alternative title:
June Cleaver Considers an Affair, Decides, Instead, to Whip Up a Devil's Food Cake With Cream Cheese Frosting
Alternative endings: Must be written...
A question: The first three lines each have a "the" I could take out the fallen, and leave it as "fallen leaves" but I like the idea of "the fallen" as in us, the people Jesus is supposed to save. What to do?

leave "the fallen." for sure.
about the title? hmmm. i was thinking of a third option. something connected to the last lines somehow ... about wanting to be clean and showered before you meet jesus.
