Sonnet: God Milk?

by John Kendall Hawkins

.

Infinitely infantile megalo-

maniac, that's how I would describe God.

Doesn't hear our pleas, our please. Does He know

we're even here? Object permanence? Odd

we should have to tackle Being alone,

in the beginning and the end unnamed,

pre-lingual, then post-lingual, and the cone

of silence in between, by mere words tamed.

From paradigm lost to paradigm gained;

from pools to lakes to rivers -- oceanic

flights of fancy in some autistic, pained

panpsychic consciousness in full panic.

Here she comes -- MaMa! -- and what's this I see?

O, two jugs of liebfraumilch for me!
