I grew up in Christian fundamentalism, went to hell, came back, became a Presbyterian then a Buddhist Presbyterian, and now I'm a profane Presbyterian Zen Taoist -- not that I'm into labels or anything. Here's what I've learned so far: The more you know, the more you know you don't know.

Face-Off
Melville peeled back
God’s face and found
White space in spume
Rising like a whale.
Kafka picked up
The telephone and heard
Instead of a dial tone
Choirs of angels.
Jonah sulked in
The belly of a whale
Because he wouldn’t
Do God’s bidding.
Job, God’s most faithful
Lost everyone he loved
Because of a bet the Lord
Made with the Devil.
Shape-shifter, madness
Behind a clown’s mask,
Why move this painted
Rock away from its tomb?
