The Bobblehead Jesus I got as a stocking stuffer this past Christmas, and which now accompanies me every time I drive somewhere, inspired this morning’s poem:<\/p>\n
Plastic imitation<\/p>\n
cheap meditation<\/p>\n
jumping<\/p>\n
spinning<\/p>\n
dancing<\/p>\n
to your every thought<\/p>\n
as you weave through traffic<\/p>\n
mini miracle maker<\/p>\n
whirling dervish<\/p>\n
dashboard Jesus<\/p>\n
in your car, on your heart<\/p>\n
can do a jig for<\/p>\n
every broken string of hopes<\/p>\n
a little god can make for you<\/p>\n
at least a laugh at every turn<\/p>\n
as toga-wearing, made-in-China<\/p>\n
krishna-hands-extending<\/p>\n
flop jock Jesus<\/p>\n
bears the burdens of<\/p>\n
comings and goings with<\/p>\n
the frenzied calm of an<\/p>\n
enlightened guru<\/p>\n
who loves to twist and shake<\/p>\n
expressionless until<\/p>\n
your heart<\/p>\n
feels strangely<\/p>\n
warmed and<\/p>\n
you’re home.<\/p>\n
