Unless You Seek To Worship Ev’ry Way

Unless You Seek To Worship Ev’ry Way

Capacities are universalized.
The glossalalia can be induced
It’s inhibition only that prevents
our use of dance, to worship, exercise.
The visions, mystical, upon demand.
Deny that I, a co-practitioner.
No problems, singing Sundays in the church
so long as your demeanor is reserved.
The checks we write, our bundled energies,
into the plates they pass from aisle to aisle.
Your signature, the most revealing act.
The debit authorized from your account.
This place where we devote our energies.
A building where, the youth, we educate.
A hall where all these worship means employ.
These kinds of places must have real estate.
Unless you’ve sought to worship ev’ry way.
