who found
God in college
would wake us up with
his acoustic guitar
singing
hymns.
let's go, he'd say.
we're all going to church today.
i'd be hung
over from the night
before, and the girl i was
seeing at the time
would be curled
up under the sheets.
yes, we were sinners.
he'd go from room to room,
waking everyone up.
banging on his guitar,
dressed in his blue coat
and red bow tie.
it was a good but failed
effort to bring God
into our lives,
but we couldn't wait for
him to go back to school
when the next semester
started.
