Blue God

Others also claim to worship
Gods of peace and monotony.
And very possibly they do.

But you’re not going to service
This long and boring afternoon
By splitting the true from the good.

At the height of your faith, years ago,
When you could pray a spot of light
Up the wall with your gravity,

You cared for what your faith could do,
But now, no. Boredom is greatness
Of a most particular sort.
