How Do You Spell God?
b'How do you spell God?\\n\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nOne summer I tried.\\n\\nSat on a three foot tree stump\\nGrabbed a hammer and nailed my femurs down.\\nQuickly forgot my fitzpatrick skin type. Got\\nLost in the red rivers of my sins. What sins?\\nI\\u2019m not a problem... I am problematic. No. I am a problem. No.\\nNone of these will do. Help me winnow this down, shall you? Maybe. Okay, here it will be:\\n\\xa0\\n\\u201cIt\\u2019s simple; I\\u2019m complicated.\\u201d, I say.\\n\\nIn walks my good friend Cal, \\u201cWe all have complications, Addie,\\u201d\\n\\u201cBut Calvin, you\\u2019re so Klein! Your name is wrapped around angels!\\u201d\\n\\u201cRelax,\\u201d he says, \\u201cThey\\u2019re just bones.\\u201d\\nHe looks down at my femurs. I don\\u2019t say sorry. I do not shrug. I just ask him if he can solve me. To which he responds,\\n\\u201cYes, easy. Become the number zero.\\u201d\\n\\n--- \\n\\nSend in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nakedpoetry/message\\nSupport this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nakedpoetry/support'
