The Whereabouts of Heaven
I was building a skyscraper when I
ran out of sky and cozied up to
the whereabouts of heaven above
our false hosannas Way up in the clouds
where no one speaks but sings beautifully
above the movement of money gunfights
and late stage cancer grade school body counts
and shots per round Up there in the blue beyond wonder
where tomorrow threatens no one where angels woo the glade
