+-------- "The Bias Of  Bethesda; The Thoughts Of The Infirm Man By The Pool When Speaking With Jesus"

For thirty eight years Ive realized my
dreams in the spontaneous joy of
others -when the vortex of mighty winds
paves the path for the porch plunging into
the pool of prosperity beside my bed by
a salvific angel. Obfuscation's thin film
vigorously peeled from a man’s virgin
eyes, the birth of sight from a barren womb
of blindness like a firstborn child molting
an amniotic sac of the impossible;
Crippled women leaping the way
wolves leap beneath a full winter
moon, thickened fur, running wild away
from their lives of sorrow, baring teeth,
growling at memories of past agony
forever. I would like to say I find solace
in such things. But I don’t anymore.
No one thinks of me before they lunge
in after all these years– whispers of
the angel advising them “pay no mind
to the forsaken one,” I swear I hear them.    
 
---------------John 5:1-9
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
