Your Pertinent Impertinences


Sometimes to rev your engine up,
an unforeseen enthusiast
will glide out of the psyche –
try to kick your butt: erupt
into a fundamentalist faith healer –

do a hands-on touchy-
feely zeal-y thing
to gloomy aspects
of your personality which cling
to stasis – do not want to move.

Full of zing and on a providential basis
he will prove they’ve lost their way
by singing deedledees
and spindaloos and waddlelays
to deities which, like all gods,

lack provenance but woo with lots
of entertaining hoop-de-doo.
Today your pertinent impertinences
hear him crying it,
but they’re not buying it.
