History Stutters

Jesus hada die

Nine damn times.

Before he got it right.

Couldn’t die at breakfast.

Lunch didn’t work.

Jesus hada die at night.

Dying like the day old light.

Getting all the shadows right.

It’s Jesus sad, it isn’t fright.

So even Jesus wants to get it right.

Do overs, like today’s the same.

Ain’t a true do over if today is named.

See? It’s Tuesday and Friday…

It ain’t the same!

We gave it a name!

And a number.
