the church of the eternal chevy pickup

once upon a time there was a man who lived in stark reality, black and white, and up was up and down was down and by god don't give him any of that all is relative stuff because he had always had trouble with his relations anyway and he prided himself on his hardheaded stubbornness and believed that once fooled always a fool and he had been fooled many times, made a fool of himself over other people mostly and got hurt and closed his heart and said what heart? the head is where it's at, and kept strict accounting of everything and lived in ledger domain thanking god, except he knew there wasn't one, that he wasn't foolish anymore like all them others until a chevy pickup almost run him down one day and the startle sent a lightning flash unbolting his pentupness and he fell to the ground weeping and sobbing and couldn't hold himself together anymore, see him over there? his head all exploded into radiant glory and the vast unseen, wondering why people take life so serious, making things so grave, and thinking about starting a church of the eternal chevy pickup but saying nah! everybody has to get run down by their own vehicle
