"a poem by Wilbur Reese" from dec 18 2017

First, determine if you are simply going through the motions as illustrated in this poem: “I would like to buy three pounds of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk, or a snooze in the sunshine…I want ecstasy, not transformation. I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy three pounds of God, please” (Wilbur Reese).
