   This is what of God I’m learning,
   this is something I believes,
   that He gets up every morning
   and jumps into a pile of leaves
   with a whooping holy joy
   that resounds among the hills,
   and that’s the thing we should employ
   to cure our own and others’ ills.
   Grim piety just doesn’t work,
   the hair-shirt makes the best of us
   look like a dour judgmental jerk
   who’s glad to toss beneath the bus
   every semblance of a smile
   that makes Creation feel worthwhile.
