Jesus and Jane

 

 

            Under the overpass

            And there’s a big old honking JESUS

            Poster spread and woven through the railings

            Like someone might not know who Jesus is yet

            In America

            Har de har har hovah

 

            And over on the far left

            Scrawled hastily

            And with a loving hand

            Is a dirt crusted missive that reads only

            Jane

 

            Jesus might have died for love

            But I’m guessing Jane lived for it

            Or whoever loved Jane did

            Anyway

 

            And I much prefer her graffiti

            To that of Jesus
