+-----John Wall  Glorified In Canada

...Beal, Gortat, Porter = Peter,
James, John - basketball
disciples ascending, with you,
the NBA playoff’s steep Mount,
Air Canada Centre. Demar Derozan,
Lowry, the Toronto Raptors…at the base
unbelieving pagans,
sycophants of Caesar, frothy-mouthed,
giddy to extend pejoratives, steal
your 2018 ring, denying who you are truly: 
Champion. But now, revelation supernal
for your team, fans, the world.
Your triple double tonight, you
suspended in air, your jersey as peasants'
robes shining brighter than the sun. When
you dunk on Demar to win the game,
the cheering of Wizards’ fans like Moses
and Elijah flanking, fawning. The God
of Basketball then boasting – “THIS
IS JOHN WALL WHOM I LOVE,
WITH HIM I AM WELL PLEASED!!!
(The Raptors will soon be eliminated)”

------Matthew 17:1-13
After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. But Jesus came and touched them. “Get up,” he said. “Don’t be afraid.” When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Don’t tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” The disciples asked him, “Why then do the teachers of the law say that Elijah must come first?” Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
