DAY {2/14}

	GOSPEL OF BOKE {12 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_12_01}   AND GOD SAID: "Boke, you left The Baptist out?" {GOB_12_02}   "Well, God," says Boke, "I'm in the wilderness {GOB_12_03}   and crying. Do we need two prophs to shout?" {GOB_12_04}   "Stick with the story, Boke, or I won't bless ...   {GOB_12_05}   ... this undertaking that no earthly soul {GOB_12_06}   -- not even Shakespeare -- could have done this fast. {GOB_12_07}   154 in fourteen days -- a goal {GOB_12_08}   that's quite a lot to pray for, Boke who's sassed ...   {GOB_12_09}   ... Me sev'ral times this year, but made me smile. {GOB_12_10}   Without the smiles I'd say to go to hell {GOB_12_11}   with all these sonnets stretching out a mile {GOB_12_12}   in cyberspace. Thank God, you do it well."   {GOB_12_13}   God smiles at His own joke, then at this pest {GOB_12_14}   named Boke who never seems to take a rest.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {13 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_13_01}   BY GOD'S REQUEST "REWIND" to Chapter One {GOB_13_02}   of John to John the Baptist. Don't get lost. {GOB_13_03}   The writer's an apostle of The Son. {GOB_13_04}   The baptist is the voice who'll pay the cost ...   {GOB_13_05}   ... of martyrdom one day and find his head {GOB_13_06}   served on a tray 'cause some dame power-tripped {GOB_13_07}   while doing what her wicked momma said. {GOB_13_08}   Oh Ho! You say, Boke's momma-moral's ripped ...   {GOB_13_09}   ... to tatters by this inconsistency! {GOB_13_10}   Oh no, says Boke, remember I said "Might." {GOB_13_11}   Don't be so sure of what you think you see {GOB_13_12}   within this text, or Bible. See the light.   {GOB_13_13}   God snaps his finger, "Boke, please God, move on. {GOB_13_14}   Stop vamping tell the tale, or mow the lawn!" {>>>}
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {14 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_14_01}   "It's Christmas time, dear Lord, the grass don't grow," {GOB_14_02}   says Boke to vamp some more. God smacks his head {GOB_14_03}   with old rolled up newspaper: "Don't you know {GOB_14_04}   Australian grass is growing? What I said!"   {GOB_14_05}   "OK!" says Boke beginning where he spliced: {GOB_14_06}   JOHN WRITES of John the Baptist "sent from God" {GOB_14_07}   to bear strong witness of the Light -- the Christ {GOB_14_08}   long prophesied. John preaching was a rod ...   {GOB_14_09}   ... to beat the drum announcing "Jesus Now!" {GOB_14_10}   The time had come: the prophecy fulfilled. {GOB_14_11}   "I am the voice repeating scripture's vow {GOB_14_12}   Christ comes with truth and grace, divinely filled."   {GOB_14_13}   He testified the Spirit of the Lord {GOB_14_14}   he saw descend and stay with God's adored.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {15 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_15_01}   "Trust Me," says God, "You're thinking way too hard. {GOB_15_02}   The flow is kinking, let yourself release {GOB_15_03}   your logic boxing in God's paths. En garde! {GOB_15_04}   Your human calculations will decrease ...   {GOB_15_05}   ... My opportunities, so cut it out! {GOB_15_06}   Or let me cut it for you: Rest in Me. {GOB_15_07}   My burden is not heavy. There's no drought {GOB_15_08}   within God's presence. Feel the energy ...   {GOB_15_09}   ... surrounding you -- if you will just plug in {GOB_15_10}   to mountain-moving power. Just have faith {GOB_15_11}   and do your best to not waste time with sin {GOB_15_12}   or wond'ring why so few words rhyme with faith.   {GOB_15_13}   The time of life's a given for you folks, {GOB_15_14}   so use it well -- Tell God a few good jokes."
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {16 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_16_01}   "Don't let me lose momentum, Jim," she left {GOB_16_02}   on Boke's machine that captures random calls {GOB_16_03}   from out of time -- the tendrils never cleft {GOB_16_04}   still open to re-circle nodal balls ...   {GOB_16_05}   ... of episodic history entwined {GOB_16_06}   but off the path of victory, I think. {GOB_16_07}   "Why don't you write one sonnet," I've refined {GOB_16_08}   my multi-path advice to one, "Just sink ...   {GOB_16_09}   ... a couple dozen minutes in constraints {GOB_16_10}   of art to focus your eyes more like mine. {GOB_16_11}   Not copy, but a chance to use your paints {GOB_16_12}   on your own story. Draw your own life line ...   {GOB_16_13}   ... more open to the paths because of rhymes {GOB_16_14}   unhinging where you've gone so many times.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {17 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_17_01}   "HAVE YOU MADE CLEAR that Dubya is possessed?" {GOB_17_02}   "Yes, Lord, a dozen times. Is that enough?" {GOB_17_03}   "I can't believe the people that I've blessed {GOB_17_04}   would vote for Satan's minion talking tough ...   {GOB_17_05}   ... 'bout killin' folks while claiming he is Mine." {GOB_17_06}   "Perhaps a few more times, Lord, they'll catch on: {GOB_17_07}   Death-dealers of the world are not divine {GOB_17_08}   enforcers of God's will. It may yet dawn ...   {GOB_17_09}   ... on U.S. Christians 'fore it is too late {GOB_17_10}   and they'll all burn in hell -- oh heavy price {GOB_17_11}   for choosing that blaspheming son of hate. {GOB_17_12}   George Dubya Bush is evil -- he ain't nice."   {GOB_17_13}   "A little stronger rhyme, Boke, if you please. {GOB_17_14}   Don't flow so fast, forget to cross your T's."
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {18 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_18_01}   "What of The Baptist? Is there more to say?" {GOB_18_02}   says God to Boke to pull them back on track. {GOB_18_03}   "Not much in John. Synoptics show the day {GOB_18_04}   John bapped baptism seekers. His attack: ...   {GOB_18_05}   ... "Your snakes! You'd better straighten up. Repent! {GOB_18_06}   Bring forth good fruit, or you will be cut down {GOB_18_07}   and cast into a fire. Here's a hint: {GOB_18_08}   Share clothes and food with poor folks in your town."   {GOB_18_09}   "Good! Good!" said God, "that sounds more like the man {GOB_18_10}   I sent to pave the way for Christ my son." {GOB_18_11}   "Yes, Lord. Does that mean bapping's in your plan? {GOB_18_12}   To call folks names -- like ' vipers ' -- sounds like fun!"   {GOB_18_13}   God smiles and baps Boke lightly on the head: {GOB_18_14}   "Speed up these sonnets so we'll get to bed."
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {19 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_19_01}   "YOU'RE POND'RING Paris Hilton's skinny butt," {GOB_19_02}   says God to Boke. (Yes, God knows ev'rything.) {GOB_19_03}   Turn off the VCR before I cut {GOB_19_04}   your TV privileges and make you sing ...   {GOB_19_05}   ... in angel choir about how great I am." {GOB_19_06}   God loves to torture Boke about desire {GOB_19_07}   for television and thoughts that might damn {GOB_19_08}   his soul -- if nothing else, make him perspire.   {GOB_19_09}   God's laughter at Boke's suff'rings not much told {GOB_19_10}   in parables by Jesus in the text {GOB_19_11}   of Bibles edited before they're sold {GOB_19_12}   to seekers who are sure to be perplexed.   {GOB_19_13}   The Bible must be read between the lines. {GOB_19_14}   God's smiling when he's peeping through the blinds.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {20 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_20_01}   FAST FORWARD BACK through John -- for now we'll skim {GOB_20_02}   through Jewish leaders plotting Jesus' death. {GOB_20_03}   Not anti-semitism, Saint John's sim {GOB_20_04}   of how things were when he shared Jesus' breath ...   {GOB_20_05}   ... as his disciple, seeing what He saw {GOB_20_06}   so many years before -- when Christ had died {GOB_20_07}   he said to save the world. Is that a flaw {GOB_20_08}   in John's perspective? Do you think he lied?   {GOB_20_09}   I don't, but truth of stories is complex. {GOB_20_10}   The interactions of all fragments count. {GOB_20_11}   All human tellings will have their defects. {GOB_20_12}   The truth's not summing up one clear amount.   {GOB_20_13}   I hold each fragment of the Bible true. {GOB_20_14}   But keep all in the air, not just a few.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {21 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_21_01}   SAMARIA: The Woman At The Well {GOB_21_02}   Just stop me if you've heard this one before. {GOB_21_03}   Just kidding -- here's a part you have to tell {GOB_21_04}   to cover all the standard Jesus lore.   {GOB_21_05}   Just rhyming, folks. You think that "lore" is false -- {GOB_21_06}   tall tales and myths. But lore's just oral truth: {GOB_21_07}   IN FLUX -- the fragments not nailed down. A waltz {GOB_21_08}   around the room. Not trapped inside a booth ...   {GOB_21_09}   ... by heavy friends who won't let you get out {GOB_21_10}   to chat up that cute girl who's at the bar {GOB_21_11}   with something else to add without a doubt. {GOB_21_12}   (Boke's picturing a skinny TV star.)   {GOB_21_13}   AT LAST, A METAPHOR! God pats Boke's back. {GOB_21_14}   Then for that Paris thought, his head a smack.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {22 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_22_01}   GOD SAYS he's off to chat with Dean once more. {GOB_22_02}   "That boy needs lots of help -- that nasty pack {GOB_22_03}   of Democrats won't listen to Al Gore {GOB_22_04}   and Bushy-Dem is such a sorry sack ..."   {GOB_22_05}   The Lord goes mumbling out, but Boke's still here {GOB_22_06}   to wrap this day's eleven, and to pray {GOB_22_07}   Americans will swallow wisdom's beer, {GOB_22_08}   spit out the bullshit they believe today.   {GOB_22_09}   Boke's guitar callouses, I hope return {GOB_22_10}   from I've-No-Time-To-Play town. We sure need {GOB_22_11}   a song to sing, an MP3 to burn {GOB_22_12}   into our minds -- so Boke won't have to bleed ...   {GOB_22_13}   ... the same blood ev'ry week. Christ shouts, "Just once {GOB_22_14}   is quite enough to suffer." He's no dunce.

DAY {3/14}

	GOSPEL OF BOKE {23 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_23_01}   THE BULLSHIT-EATER SONG? Boke strums a chord {GOB_23_02}   on his guitar, mid-morning -- he can't sleep. {GOB_23_03}   Tonight, of course, he'll pick up where the Lord {GOB_23_04}   and him left off -- but now the silly sheep ...   {GOB_23_05}   .. who eat Bush bullshit make Boke lose all hope. {GOB_23_06}   You cannot sing a sonnet, but Boke tries: {GOB_23_07}   "HEY bullshit-eaters, listen to the Pope -- {GOB_23_08}   he's dumb about some things, but some things wise.   {GOB_23_09}   What's that? They didn't put him on TV {GOB_23_10}   when he was rapping superpower sins. {GOB_23_11}   Preemptive war -- Dumb Dubya's policy. {GOB_23_12}   We had no chance to shout out our Amens."   {GOB_23_13}   We need a chorus: "Bullshit-eaters stink ... {GOB_23_14}   ... and Paris Hilton's bottom's mighty pink."
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {24 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_24_01}   THE LORD SAYS, "Boke, put that guitar away. {GOB_24_02}   Your gift is not for singing -- Can't you tell?" {GOB_24_03}   "Yes, Lord, I know. So, sadly, I will lay {GOB_24_04}   this guitar down this morning ... GO TO HELL!   {GOB_24_05}   Just kidding, Lord, but you put this guitar {GOB_24_06}   into my hands for something -- Don't you know?" {GOB_24_07}   "So Boke would be a country superstar?" {GOB_24_08}   "A smartass God, just what I need. Oh no! ...   {GOB_24_09}   ... No country -- but the Dixie Chicks -- for me." {GOB_24_10}   No dumbass patriots so scared of death {GOB_24_11}   they blaspheme Jesus, ' Killing makes us free. ' {GOB_24_12}   Their songs smell strong of Satan's bullshit breath."   {GOB_24_13}   GOD SAYS: "The Chicks apologized." "That's right, {GOB_24_14}   yeah, screw 'em! ... Um, I mean, Lord, like a light."
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {25 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_25_01}   "GO BACK TO SLEEP, BOKE. Rest, then we'll begin {GOB_25_02}   another chapter of your gospel book." {GOB_25_03}   "Yes, Lord, I'm tired -- so hard to never sin." {GOB_25_04}   God smiles and tucks Boke in. One good-dad look, ...   {GOB_25_05}   ... then off to heaven where an angel sings {GOB_25_06}   much higher than sweet Boke will ever reach. {GOB_25_07}   God spared him the temptation music brings {GOB_25_08}   to sing one song forever. "He must teach ...   {GOB_25_09}   ... in Boke's strange, special way that does not loop {GOB_25_10}   the same words ev'ry night -- forever flows {GOB_25_11}   in rivers meant to wash away the poop {GOB_25_12}   before it's turned to "everybody knows" ...   {GOB_25_13}   ... before the bullshit-eaters chomp it down. {GOB_25_14}   God hums a chorus ... "What else rhymes with brown?"
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {26 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_26_01}   BOKE DREAMS: The Soggy Bottom Boys and Girl {GOB_26_02}   are singing acapella as he floats {GOB_26_03}   on pony-back as all his sails unfurl. {GOB_26_04}   Boke thinks: I hope somebody's taking notes ...   {GOB_26_05}   ... 'cause dreams can fade away before the dawn. {GOB_26_06}   He sees an angel smile. She's jotting down {GOB_26_07}   his stream of consciousness as he is drawn {GOB_26_08}   along the flow where God is rhyming brown.   {GOB_26_09}   He does not hold the till, but still his soul {GOB_26_10}   selects among the choices God provides {GOB_26_11}   for him among the channels near the shoal {GOB_26_12}   Christ made to keep the devil's darker tides ...   {GOB_26_13}   ... at bay. As Boke lies sleeping in sweet dreams {GOB_26_14}   where God empowers all their crazy schemes.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {27 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_27_01}   "THE WOMAN AT THE WELL," God's hand has scrawled {GOB_27_02}   across Boke's legal pad, and then three dots. {GOB_27_03}   "OK," says Boke, quite clearly unenthralled {GOB_27_04}   with Sunday-School rehashing all the plots ...   {GOB_27_05}   ... that ev'rybody knows who lived to tell {GOB_27_06}   of children's church -- who've got what there's to get. {GOB_27_07}   IT'S SIX O'CLOCK PM AT JACOB'S WELL {GOB_27_08}   SAMARIA: Christ sits where people let ...   {GOB_27_09}   ... their buckets down. A woman comes. Christ speaks: {GOB_27_10}   "Give me to drink." The woman asks: "A Jew {GOB_27_11}   is asking me, Samaritan? He seeks {GOB_27_12}   an interaction with me? Jew's don't do ...   {GOB_27_13}   ... no dealing with Samaritans. I'm shocked." {GOB_27_14}   That's Jesus for you, opening what's locked.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {28 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_28_01}   GOD WHISPERS, "MORE?" OK. THE WELL AT 6 ... {GOB_28_02}   CHRIST (to the woman): "If you knew the gift {GOB_28_03}   of God, and who I am and asked -- I'd fix {GOB_28_04}   you up with LIVING WATER." (Catch my drift?)   {GOB_28_05}   "Sir, you don't have a bucket." (Clearly not.) {GOB_28_06}   Christ smiles: "If you drink from this well you'll thirst {GOB_28_07}   again. You'd have to come back here a lot. {GOB_28_08}   The water I would give ... within will burst ...   {GOB_28_09}   ... in everlasting flow ... Forevermore: {GOB_28_10}   Eternal life. You int'rested in that?" {GOB_28_11}   "Yes sir! Give me that water! Nevermore {GOB_28_12}   to lug a bucket from this well." Christ sat ...   {GOB_28_13}   ... right there and said, "Go call your spouse." The sun- {GOB_28_14}   light hurt her eyes, "Well sir, I don't have one." {>>>}
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {29 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_29_01}   CHRIST SAID: "Thou has well said, I'm husbandless. {GOB_29_02}   For thou has had five husbands, and the man {GOB_29_03}   you're living with is not. That's not a guess." {GOB_29_04}   "I see you are a prophet," she began ...   {GOB_29_05}   ... explaining that her people "worshipped in {GOB_29_06}   this mountain. But for Jews, Jerusalem {GOB_29_07}   is where men ought to worship with their kin." {GOB_29_08}   THEN JESUS SAID: "Believe me, time will come ...   {GOB_29_09}   ... when mountain or Jerusalem is not {GOB_29_10}   for worshipping the Father the right place. {GOB_29_11}   You don't know what you worship. Jews have got {GOB_29_12}   a firm conception -- wrongly, in this case.   {GOB_29_13}   God is a spirit. You must worship him {GOB_29_14}   in spirit and in truth." (Time for a hymn.)
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {30 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_30_01}   LET'S STAND AND SING THESE VERSES though we can't {GOB_30_02}   sing sonnets very well, but anyway ... {GOB_30_03}   "THANK GOD FOR MYSTERIES that can't be rant {GOB_30_04}   like ten-commandment certainties men say ...   {GOB_30_05}   ... while executing sentences of death. {GOB_30_06}   THANK GOD FOR STRANGENESS we can't comprehend. {GOB_30_07}   [Pentameter's too long for pop-stars' breath.] {GOB_30_08}   Before they wrote God's words, the clear they'd bend ...   {GOB_30_09}   ... to fit earth-bound morality. That's why {GOB_30_10}   Christ spoke in parables. And, odder yet, {GOB_30_11}   hard saying that offend all Apple-Pie {GOB_30_12}   Americans who've never really met ...   {GOB_30_13}   ... the Jesus in the Bible -- Just the one {GOB_30_14}   on TV who most always wears a gun."
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {31 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_31_01}   CHRIST'S POSSE was offended He would talk {GOB_31_02}   with "vile" Samaritans -- but held their tongue. {GOB_31_03}   If he was really God, a woodshed walk {GOB_31_04}   might liquify the ice cubes that were flung ...   {GOB_31_05}   ... through that last wormhole, which God's now resealed. {GOB_31_06}   THE LORD SAYS: "Boke, what are you doing now?" {GOB_31_07}   "You mean that wormhole? Metaphor concealed {GOB_31_08}   within a joke. Sweet Lord, don't have a cow!"   {GOB_31_09}   "A purple one?" God says and baps Boke twice -- {GOB_31_10}   But not too hard, because Boke might make sense. {GOB_31_11}   God's not quite sure, but yet he rolls the dice {GOB_31_12}   by letting Boke run wild. God's on the fence ...   {GOB_31_13}   ... about the value of Boke's enterprise {GOB_31_14}   of prophecy dressed up in sonnet's guise.
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {32 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_32_01}   A PROPHET has no honor in his home {GOB_32_02}   or in his country -- best he move around. {GOB_32_03}   So Christ kept moving -- as Boke hopes to roam; {GOB_32_04}   ALTHOUGH it could be said Boke's vocal sound ...   {GOB_32_05}   ... is traveling the earth while he sits still {GOB_32_06}   composing these 154 to bring {GOB_32_07}   the total to a thousand and fulfill {GOB_32_08}   requirements for his license. In Beijing ...   {GOB_32_09}   ... some folks are curious how Boke can cure {GOB_32_10}   their impotence, because they have confused {GOB_32_11}   "Abundant Branch" dot CN, with the pure {GOB_32_12}   dot com of boke. (OF COURSE, you are excused ...   {GOB_32_13}   ... from understanding what that gibberish {GOB_32_14}   is s'pposed to mean. Just eat your bread and fish.)
	GOSPEL OF BOKE {33 of 154} -- by BOKE (duh!) {GOB_33_01}   THE WOMAN AT THE WELL had little weight {GOB_33_02}   in social terms, but still she was believed {GOB_33_03}   enough to lure her townsfolk to the fate {GOB_33_04}   that's open to believers who'd have grieved ...   {GOB_33_05}   ... a lot if they had missed Christ's coming by. {GOB_33_06}   They knew that a Messiah would appear. {GOB_33_07}   So they were ready for this Jesus guy {GOB_33_08}   and welcomed him -- quite lacking in the fear ...   {GOB_33_09}   ... the Jewish leaders had for rocking boats. {GOB_33_10}   Yes, Jesus on his pony complicates {GOB_33_11}   the normal sailing protocol that floats {GOB_33_12}   the social power structure. That's what hates ...   {GOB_33_13}   ... the coming of a changer of the game. {GOB_33_14}   Don't blame the Jews -- "the social" is to blame.
