God Says Yes To Me

Jasmine blooming on my altar

I asked God if it was okay to be melodromatic

and she said yes

I asked her if it was okay to be short

and she said it sure is

I asked her if it was okay to wear nail polish

or not wear nail polish

and she said honey

she calls me that sometimes

she said you can do just exactly

what you want to do

Thanks God I said

 And is it even okay if I don’t paragraph
my letters

Sweetcakes God said

who knows where she picked that up

what I’m telling you is

Yes  Yes  Yes
