Scene

When I get to heaven
I am going to start a group
called the Bandits of McGillicutty
and we are going to go around
stealing everyone's stuff
even though it's heaven.

It's going to be pretty funny
and kind of like 
stealing bibles
except it's going to be things like
TVs and games and cake that we get
from breaking in to the mansion 
that Jesus promised everyone.

Stealing a Bible 
is actually how you get to heaven
but people make it sound
more complicated.
It's because they want
the best rooms in the mansion 
with all the best games and electronics.

It's kind of like trying 
to steal people's stuff
before they get there.

But I am waiting 
until we're actually in heaven
and people are not expecting it.
I will point to the east
and say "look, 
a new light is dawning with the tides,"
and when people turn to see,
I will take their last muffin
that they were saving 
for the afternoon wishing march.

They will never turn back
and never know what's gone 
because a new light
actually is dawning 
with the tides.

It is a bright and kind
prism with beams
and no one can look away.
