Welcome to the endless high-school
Reunion. Welcome to past friends
And lovers, however kind or cruel.
Let’s undervalue and unmendThe present. Why can’t we pretend
Every stage of life is the same?
Let’s exhume, resume, and extend
Childhood. Let’s play all the gamesThat occupy the young. Let fame
And shame intertwine. Let one’s search
For God become public domain.
Let church.com become our churchLet’s sign up, sign in, and confess
Here at the altar of loneliness.
