Heaven (or something quite like it) - a Jack Brummet poem




Heaven (or something quite like it)


1
You wink at St. Peter
As the gates whir open.

You're off the map, boy,
With just a soul to your name

2
You pile your clothes and credit cards
On top of your toys and bones,

And walk in whistling.
Adios Republicans, cops, and money.

3
Concupiscent thoughts drift in
Where’s the women, music, and beverages?

4
Rod Serling strolls around the corner
In a cloud of pearl grey smoke.
