'Andy' 'smiling' 'not good enough'

'not good enough' timothy r gates, 4/21/2008

not good enough
jesus died for us because
mama, papa said
not good enough
still hear those words
schools reward the best
schools punish the worst
schools ignore the majority
not good enough
significance measurable,
but not if in the middle
not good enough
share holder are owners
governments are owners
not good enough
rich, too much to tax
poor, too little to tax
middle, too many not to tax
okay, breathe
okay, listen
'Good enough.'

'smiling' timothy r gates, 4/18/2008

i smile
says more
no words spoken
ohm, more than
another smiles
i know
no whispered words
smiling
not a shit-ass grin,
necessarily.

kaufman danced,
fooled the foolish
once he stopped a live show
-i didn't know if it was for real
-still don't-
'here i come to save the day,
it's mighty mouse, i'm on the way'
talked of jesus
then wrestled wo-men
got his ass kicked
-didn't know if it was for real
-still don't-
Andy died.
But did he?
Maybe jesus and andy
are shopping a the celestial mall,
kosmic bullshit
maybe he just died.
I wonder,
does jesus laugh at his jokes?
