Protoevangelion

Open on the son of a Good Christian Bible Pastor
Experimenting with the edges of adolescence:
Sad young men
Born again
Meets with his friends at a rest stop near Albuquerque
Learns their names, the subsequently memorizes
All their signs
Grand designs

Looks to the stars to determine whether he should try to
Sit by the girl with the pink psychedelic leggings
It's no good
Burning wood
Closer inspection reveals by the firelight
She's clutching a fistful of broken purple amethyst
In her palm
Like a psalm

Feeling lonely
Feeling like only this moment matters at all
Feeling like Adam in the moments before the fall
Feeling shattered
Feeling scattered in the wind
Feeling holy and light
Friends of the show
Friends of the show
The world smells like sandalwood tonight

Hauling yourself over the wrought-iron temple fence
And dropping a dime in the Fountain of Forgetfulness
Hear the splish
Make your wish
Plucking at plants with the faces of dandelions
Worshipping loudly at nothing in particular
Holy wars
Mine and yours

Drinking pink lemonade out of a mason jar
Driving so recklessly, you look inebriated
Stars at night
Birds in flight
Stealing a traffic cone down by the Nevada border
Leaving it on the doorstep of your english teacher
Stars above
Puppy love

Feeling hapless
Feeling mapless on the road to Damascus with Paul
Feeling like Adam in the moments after the fall
Feeling nameless
Feeling shameless
Feeling ready for a fight
Brothers and Sisters
Brothers and Sisters
The world smells like sandalwood tonight
