poem 4004


by dog e relaford



ramses was a rabbit
solomon was a snake
they sat on the levee
waiting for it to break

ramses had a clipboard
solomon had a pen
they wrote down everything that happened
since they couldn’t remember when

off in the distance
a dinosaur sang a song
the cathedral is underwater
but the road rolls along

they laughed at sister jenny
when she played the harpsichord
but she pays them all no nevermind
and raises a voice to the lord

you all come before the pharoah
with your cloth caps in your hands
but a rider rides behind you
swift across the sands
