+-----Tony Conti Descending The Sycamore-Fig Of Singleness To Dine With Taylor Swift 

Taylor, my heart’s a cynic,
(short in stature)
of Cruel Girls’ capacity to
reform, Hebrews downtrodden
by Rome rightfully; A tax
collector without scruples
exacting resentment from their
dating refusals, rusted drachma
coins. Yet I seek to change, my
desire scaling a sycamore-fig
to gaze. Oh babes! You are
Romance’s Savior tall. Your blue
eyes rapturous, diamonds of
Archangels, your voice beguiling,
galvanizing. Your fans like mobs
encircling you always miracle seeking.
If you took me to Starbucks, the
most amorous invitation: “come 
down immediately. I must stay
at your house today.” My joy’d
be my lover-penitence. “Look, [Tay]!
Here and now I give half of
my possessions to the poor.”
My soul dining with yours like
Love’s true disciple. Over coffee.

------Luke 19:1-10
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.” So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly. All the people saw this and began to mutter, “He has gone to be the guest of a sinner.” But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

+-----Tony Conti's Heart  Pregnant; Taylor  Swift's Hopeful News

Taylor, my heart is
a Hebrew crone-wife
barren on melancholy’s
desert sands. Hunched beside
avid romantic longing as
the great trees of Mamre.
Susceptible; my singleness’s
persistence like 90 years’
cynicism of cruel girls’ dating
refusals… taunting my womb
of aspirations void. But babes!
Your smile is 3 earnest angels
disguised as men assaying
my plight. Your blue eyes
three seahs of finest flour
worthy, your lips the price
of a tender calf, curds and milk.
If you took me to Starbucks,
– the most auspicious
(Bae) news: “I will surely return
to you about this time next year,
and [you] will have a son.” Our
kiss’d be a child of love. Isaac.

------Genesis 18:1-12
The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.  Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.” So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah. “Quick,” he said, “get three seahs of the finest flour and knead it and bake some bread.” Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree. “Where is your wife Sarah?” they asked him. “There, in the tent,” he said. Then one of them said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Abraham and Sarah were already very old, and Sarah was past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and my lord is old, will I now have this pleasure?

Taylor Swift: Tony Conti's Angel Armed #taylordatetony #ts7 #taylorswift #me



* Spirit of Jesus pray for me
* Joshua, Angel of the Lord, Holy Church pray for me
* Saints pray for me
#taylordatetony #ts7 #taylorswift 

+-----Taylor Swift: Tony Conti's  Angel Armed

Taylor, my soul is
Joshua, his Hebrew peoples
sans Moses (dating hope),
wary. A bull unblemished tracked
by Levites for slaughter, sweating
in crazed full-moon-flight to be free.
My perpetual singleness sturdy,
stubborn- the impregnable
walls of Jericho; Cruel girls’ dating
refusals like red irises of Canaanites
uncultured behind it, gleaming of
unromantic-barbarism. But babes!
Your blue eyes sacred, an angel salvific.
Your smile a man with a sparkling sword
unsheathed (and nimbus) to vanquish.
If you took me to Starbucks, your
assurance of a friendly alliance:
“as Commander of the army of Love
have I now come.” If you kissed me,
my heart’d take off its sandals for coffee.
Our shared joy like Holy Ground. 

------Joshua 5:13-15
And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, “Are You for us or for our adversaries?” So He said, “No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, “What does my Lord say to His servant?” Then the Commander of the Lord’s army said to Joshua, “Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.” And Joshua did so.

+-----Jericho Toppled

Kevin, Toronto is Jericho,
a walled city impregnable,
its coaches, players, Drake like
hardened Canaanites,
stouthearted NBA brutes. And
your Warriors’s 2-game deficit
is a Hebrew people once
valiant turned fretful, fearful
of conquest. But tonight,
your agility in the paint, like
armed soldiers courageous
against odds improbable marching.
Your long-range jumpshot 7 priests
bearing 7 trumpets of rams’
horns behind them. Carrying 3-peat
dreams across shoulders:
the ark of the Lord - circling the
city 6 days. In the 4th, when you dunk
on Kawhi to win the game, trumpets
blaring and shouts deafening. Like the
procession rounding 7 times, Joshua
raging. The Raptor’s wall of trophy
hope’ll fall flat. Jericho plundered.


------Joshua 6:12-20
And Joshua rose early in the morning, and the priests took up the ark of the Lord. Then seven priests bearing seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the Lord went on continually and blew with the trumpets. And the armed men went before them. But the rear guard came after the ark of the Lord, while the priests continued blowing the trumpets. And the second day they marched around the city once and returned to the camp. So they did six days. But it came to pass on the seventh day that they rose early, about the dawning of the day, and marched around the city seven times in the same manner. On that day only they marched around the city seven times. And the seventh time it happened, when the priests blew the trumpets, that Joshua said to the people: “Shout, for the Lord has given you the city! Now the city shall be doomed by the Lord to destruction, it and all who are in it. Only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all who are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent. And you, by all means abstain from the accursed things, lest you become accursed when you take of the accursed things, and make the camp of Israel a curse, and trouble it. But all the silver and gold, and vessels of bronze and iron, are consecrated to the Lord; they shall come into the treasury of the Lord.” So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
