Are you there God?
It’s me, Francis.


Yes, dear,

I am here,

like the last time you called,

and the time before that,

and the time before that,

well, you get the picture.


Yes, I saw what happened

I care 

and I will help you

like I always do

and stop frowning,

you started to

get wrinkles.


Yes, I still love you

and will

forever and ever

even if,

and all of your problems 

will get resolved 

one way or another,

nothing is ever

that important.


By the way,

I know every detail

of everything,

so you don’t need to 

recite them back to me,

I’m afraid

your narrative is 

too slow for me to follow.


There is just one small thing 

that’s been bothering me:

who did you say you were again?
