+------The Banquet Of Tony Cont's Dating Life Revived By Taylor Swift

Taylor, my single life
is leaden, insipid, a
wedding banquet in Galilee
bereft of wine. My heart
like guests scant on hope, smiles,
with no dancing impetus,
a once jovial feast turned dour
by girls’ dating refusals. But babes!
My desire for you like a Virgin
Mom attuned. Beckoning you with
the overture: “They have no
more wine.” If you took me to
Starbucks, six stone jars filled
with water to the brim. If you
kissed me, water turned to
wine, your sweet grapes divine
from my romantic depravity.
Then my soul like the master of
banquet ebullient, boasting to
the groom (of my expectations): 
“[Taylor Swift] you have saved the
best till now.” Thank you.

------John 2:1-11
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

+-----The Whale Diaries; Jonah's Thoughts For 3 Days and 3 Nights

                   Assyrians acutely disgust me.
Enter the psyche of savages: tariffs
unjust, exploitation brazen. Poor families
slouched on the bloody roadside
as charioteers drunk careen towards
the King’s orgiastic palace; There sonorous
cries of a child brimming with life, smoke-
silenced abruptly by altar-fire. A stench
abhorrent. An offer. To gods who are not
gods at all. But such was Adam (sin's
juice gushing down his chin), Cain,
David with adultery's stain.
We all deserve second chances, I realize
now belly-bound in a whale. And I cant
run anymore. I must go preach to Nineveh.


------Jonah 2:7-10
“When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
    to your holy temple.
“Those who cling to worthless idols
    turn away from God’s love for them.
But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
    will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
    I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’”
And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

When Perseus set out from
Seriphos, he wasn’t
apprehensive of his return…
his heart already knew
the severed head of the Gorgon
in his hands, the light victorious
from Olympus refracted off
his face.  And wont the
Carpenter’s Son, healer of
the blind, Jesus, whirler across
waters like David the King dancing
before the Ark, return gloriously too?
As He said? Men, do not look into
the sky, look inside your souls
now. Until then He is there. 

------Acts 1:6-11
Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

The Law

+------The Law; Moses's Thoughts As He Brought God's Commands To His People

I know they hear it
in the downwind of Sinai, fearful.
Interspersed between thunder
and the quaking earth, cacophonous-
a conference of the ideas of God,
angels, men. Of the death of
dreaming in Eden, of the mordant
wit of knock-kneed taskmasters
in Egypt, scabs and blood. And
bell chimes of redemption too. Of a plan
for rectifying sins of the past,
of the steady march, wolves guided
by Moonlight hunting, to Paradise
again unveiled. So I will relay to them
what Ive heard in ten parts. I will
give my people – Hope. The Ten
Commandments of God. 

------Exodus 20:1-21
And God spoke all these words:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
“You shall have no other gods before[a] me.
“You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
“You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
“Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
“You shall not murder.
“You shall not commit adultery.
“You shall not steal.
“You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
“You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance and said to Moses, “Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die.” Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning.” The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

+------The Call Of  Taylor Swift To Tony Conti

Taylor, my single life,
stodgy, like two Hebrew brothers
fishing barely, robes ragged from
dating rejection’s years, staring
languid, drifting, at the Sea of
Galilee, my soul
bordering on inert. But babes!
I imagine you vibrant, alluring. Coming
near. Your blue eyes two diamonds
bedazzling, relics preserved from
effects of Eden lost. If you took
me to Starbucks, a Date-Savior’s
divine convoking. If we kissed, my
heart roused from stupor, leaving the
boat the last time to love
for the first time: “[Tony,] come, follow me.”

------Matthew 4:18-22
As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.
Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

+------Keith Richards's Fading Career Impaled

Keith, your harrowing slander
of Taylor Swift, a malodorous stench
of Baal of Peor in the Music
Industry: the camp of the Israelites
bemoaning appalling oblations of
pseudo-talent; Your smugness like
sacrilege...fornication with a Midianite
woman, Kozbi daughter of Zur.
And my love for her, Phineas son of
Eleazar in pursuit, gripping a spear,
battletested, disdainful of your
disrespect. This poem its jagged,
rusted tip thrust through the stomach
of your reputation. In the tent of your
fading career: regret-howls, stains
of your stupidity splattered everywhere.


------Numbers 25:1-18
While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Moabite women, who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. So Israel yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor. And the Lord’s anger burned against them. The Lord said to Moses, “Take all the leaders of these people, kill them and expose them in broad daylight before the Lord, so that the Lord’s fierce anger may turn away from Israel.” So Moses said to Israel’s judges, “Each of you must put to death those of your people who have yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor.” Then an Israelite man brought into the camp a Midianite woman right before the eyes of Moses and the whole assembly of Israel while they were weeping at the entrance to the tent of meeting. When Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, saw this, he left the assembly, took a spear in his hand and followed the Israelite into the tent. He drove the spear into both of them, right through the Israelite man and into the woman’s stomach. Then the plague against the Israelites was stopped; but those who died in the plague numbered 24,000. The Lord said to Moses,  “Phinehas son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, the priest, has turned my anger away from the Israelites. Since he was as zealous for my honor among them as I am, I did not put an end to them in my zeal. Therefore tell him I am making my covenant of peace with him. He and his descendants will have a covenant of a lasting priesthood, because he was zealous for the honor of his God and made atonement for the Israelites.” The name of the Israelite who was killed with the Midianite woman was Zimri son of Salu, the leader of a Simeonite family. And the name of the Midianite woman who was put to death was Kozbi daughter of Zur, a tribal chief of a Midianite family. The Lord said to Moses, “Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them. They treated you as enemies when they deceived you in the Peor incident involving their sister Kozbi, the daughter of a Midianite leader, the woman who was killed when the plague came as a result of that incident.”

Of Heroes

+------Of Heroes; Esther's Thoughts Before Entering Into The King's Presence To Save Her People

Here I stand, at
the edge of the world now.
My soul-eyes squinting, face
hardened against fate's
precarious, often two-faced
winds- the way a deer runs
headlong through the woods,
defying wolves to find its way
home. The Moon anxious. If I fail,
if I fall...the extermination of all
Jews. And they say this is stuff of
which heroes are made, of martyrs,
of cowards. No matter, I'll break the law.
Risk everything. For if I lose my people,
I lose everything. 

------Esther 4:12-17
When Esther’s words were reported to Mordecai, he sent back this answer: “Do not think that because you are in the king’s house you alone of all the Jews will escape. For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?” Then Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.” So Mordecai went away and carried out all of Esther’s instructions.
