Jesus, Make My Bail

[Lightning Rod]

Jesus is my bondsman
he always makes my bail
I'm not even a Christian
and still he gets me out of jail

sure, he wants his ten percent
a little vig for his sacrifice
if I run, he'll hunt me down
shooting craps with loaded dice

and take me in dead or alive
pull the plug on resurrection
if I ever get born again
it will have to be by Caesarian Section

forgive me; I can't resist...

“I’ll be your mother, come and see,” he said,
“and fashion you within my form and bear
you from my bodied life; and you’ll compare
this new experience to how she bled –
the one who birthed you first – but now, instead
of labor through the body’s nature (where
parameters appear exclusive), rarer
works emerge and newer ways are tread.”

I laughed at him: “His penis envies womb.”
I laughed, but he was dying serious—
and something in me chilled to watch him die.
I watched his face—it held me like a tomb—
yes, I was dead within it. Curious—

They slice his gut and bloody birthed was I.
