cheek. Me, I’m gonna eat what
I feel like eating.

Yeah, acting according to your feelings is reptilian. Bestial. Primitive. Stupid.
Do you think our civilization has reached the end of the age of reason, and, by abandoning the source of wisdom, sliding away from the essence of civilization?
Heavy, man.
Now that’s some theology! Instead of take, eat, do this in rememberance of me…it could be “Aiee! It’s eating everyone!”
Nicean CreedOur Father be replaced by RAAARRRRRR?
Woah – remedial typing for me….again.
And God said, “Not bad for a rough draft, but I think I’ll start over with the monkeys as the main characters and see if that works out any better. Now where did I leave that meteorite?”
I think it was more like “well, that was fun. Time for phase three”
Can God be more boring than the stories He’s written? (consider the world as story)
Hey, you try crucifying a creature whose arms can barely hold up their own weight.
T’s hunting prowess maybe wasn’t so fearsome, he was apparently limited to big, slow, easy to catch shit, which is why Noah’n’em was able to escape him.
He did look pretty plodding about, however.
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me, usually by being rent limb from limb, messily devoured, and excreted. – – John 14:6, unexpurgated edition.
Wait a second, I saw that movie:
yours/
peter.
But will we see Him in competition with Raptor Jesus any time soon, I wonder…
You serious? You find the world boring?
I’ll see if I can get hold of Christine’s address, that ought to fix it.
Even if you don’t believe the Bible, it would still seem to me to be a pretty amazing work of fiction, so I think you have to give God his props as an author, if nothing else.
“Blessed are the meek. As they are mighty tasty”

Sermon on the Mount
I hear he had ghostwriters. Holy ghostwriters.
Jeff’s vision, a mite fevered perhaps, may be of the triumphant return of Christ when He won’t mess around anymore.
Now let us descend into a debate about the actual intentions of Jeff and this haiku. And I will be most displeased if I see any comments not completely divorced from all context.
I like breasts. On women.
Blasphemy! Heresy! Apostacy!
Dinosaurs never existed! Those bones are frauds…..The ones that are real belonged to a race of giants.
Besides, Jesus was born, not hatched, so he is obviously a mammal.
I’m reporting this post to the Spanish inquistion!
Wow, nobody expects that.
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Apostasy.
Goldstein’s use of emphasis on the initial word, ”you”, tells us immediately that the poet will be challenging accepted theories of the Christian message.
Within the confines of the haiku structure, how is Goldstein to introduce the necesary degree of ambiguity to challenge western preconceptions?
In a stroke(!) of genius that is simultaneously brazen and coy, he incepts line two with “cheek”
Am I alone in feeling the tension, the conflict betwen the implications of buttocks on the one hand and impertinence on the other? Can the lash and scourge of Jesus casting out the money-lenders be far from the intention etc etc until they give you a Double First or fall over dead.
sorry Geezer, I realise that this will incur your severe displeasure.
T-Rex? Feh.
Cthulhu—there’s a horrific being to worship.
While these haiku defy anagogical explication, I detect a theme in this conceptual series.
1. Bear—as in “hungry as a …”
2. Gelato—speaks for itself.
3. T-Rex —“I’ll eat anything I feel like eating.”
Ergo: Jeff is on a diet! —And Jesus, is he ever hungry!
Book of Revelation Chapter 12
12:1 A great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
12:2 She was with child. She cried out in pain, laboring to give birth.
12:3 Another sign was seen in heaven. Behold, a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his heads seven crowns.
12:4 His tail drew one third of the stars of the sky, and threw them to the earth. The dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she gave birth he might devour her child.
Read the whole chapter.. it obviously gave Milton and Tolkein inspiration, but sadly no haiku’s
So much for singing “Silent Night” next year watch Jurassic Park followed by a battle scene from Lord of the rings
Actually, I suspect there’s a deeper and more sinister context here. After all, in the comic books wasn’t it always Nazis who rode dinosaurs?
Yours was a most unwanted exegesis. It gave me pause – nay – dismay, to consider that “buttocks on the one hand and impertinence on the other” will certainly resolve into a maelstrom requiring a lot of soap and water.
I do, however, feel your suffering.
“Suffer the tasty morsels to come unto me.”
