THE LADDER TO HEAVEN
The hastily assembled angel climbed
The ladder God had many times proposed
The prophets build the prophets never built it
The ladder to the sky and Heaven in the sky
The prophets never built it knowing God
Was testing them but also teasing them
Since all God’s tests are two tests one for the Father
And one for the Son and nothing for the Holy
Spirit who broods over them like a meddlesome
Neighbor watching two young brothers play
Switch on a stoop from the second floor acrossThe street whose mother never would have letHim he reminds himself take an expensivetoy like that outside if he had owned such toysEver as the Nintendo Switch
