written during a David Lee cello concert at the Sheldon

are you keeping it a secret?
how, in your nakedness, can you hide it?
can you wrap it in paper napkins and store it in your heart?
can you write it between your thighs or under your arms?
How about an esoteric tattoo to fool the angels?
would Michael revolt, Beelzebub sigh
how could you expect to hide it from god?

slinking out of Eden with your mother begging you not to go
you couldn't tear it loose from your burning hands, your pounding heart

Jesus only wanted us, both you and I, to utter yes.
