An excerpt from my newest book, presented here free of charge! Coming soon to a popular slam poetry club near you.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Everything hurts and I’m dying

Why oh why did I ever go hiking

Ignoring the pain

And the bitter cold rain

I carry on though inside I’m crying

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The air outside tears at my face

My boots keep untying at the lace

I’m cold and I’m mad

I’ve tripped oh so bad

Why oh why did I come to this place

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I’m fumblin’ and stumblin’ and tumblin’

My elapsed time collapsed is quite troublin’

And though so far has passed

Quarter-mile perhaps

Bitter thoughts in my mind are now grumblin’

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Sweat makes rivers and puddles and lakes

I’m a mess but I guess them’s the breaks

Though I wish I was dead

And not hiking instead

At least I’m not stuck cleaning jakes

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Oh lord I just don’t understand

What possessed me to go with this plan

Bleeding and bruised

In need of much booze

This goddamn hike can kick sand

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

I’m asking and begging for mercy

And though I know that I speak with you tersely

You must be aware

That I feel I’m ensnared

To my aid I’m quite ticked you won’t hurry

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

How I got so damn lost I can’t say

Deaf ears turned by the gods whom I praid

I cursed them by name

Till my voice ‘gan to fade

From the heavens a light shined my way

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Then all of a sudden came a bear

This bear gave me quite a large scare

With pants now turned brown

I turned right around

And found myself in the bear’s lair

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

The god’s light had been naught but a trap

Those dirty conniving **** sacks

With an upwards-turned glare

I said “ye best prepare”

Cause I’m coming to pay you right back

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

A long story short I must make

To explain to you this twist of fate

The bear that had found me

And almost had downed me

Instead decided a friend I would make

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Blood boiling with vengeance we climbed

Wrath filled hearts of both bear and I

At the God’s we did rage

They who did write the page

We’d been used for the very last time

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Alright you damn bastards, red rover

Send the big man with white robes on over

For the sins he’s committed

He will not be acquitted

Nay instead of our burden he will shoulder

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

With a ring of the bell it was set

We took East while ol’ Allah took west

And while two-against-one

Might look unfair to some

Twas deemed kosher by all of the rest

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

See it seems the big man wasn’t well-liked

Other deities held much hatred and fright

So slammed like a book

With tremendous left hook

When he tapped out the crowds cheered all night

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

And thusly was fairy tale created

Of the God whom by two was checkmated

And all this begin

With a dumb fookin’ plan

To go hike in the rain “stead of waitin’

O de to ice and Advil, (and agree - no playing dead if running into a cantankerous ursa - time to focus that hatred and fright directly into the biggest f’n left hook you can muster.)

Don’t ever misspell cantankerous on Jez. Whatever you do.

That’s not how hiking with Jesus is supposed to work. I hear it should be more like this:
