Love, exciting and new,
Come aboard,
We're expecting you!
The LOVE....BOAT.....!
(Jack Jones; 1977.)
*********************
"I liked him better,
as Captain Stubing, Lord.
He was just so HANDSOME,
in that CAPTAIN's
uniform."
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
[QUIETLY GIVING
PERMISSION,
TO THE DEVIL.]
(Yawn!)
(Sigh!)
"If you're a 'Love Boat' fan,
Lord.....
it's no fun seeing him,
looking so OLD,
Ya KNOW?"
[PATIENT SILENCE.]
[WATCH A STAR
EXPLODING,
ON THE OTHER SIDE
OF THE UNIVERSE.]
(Shrug.)
"The movie was very heart-
warming, and all....."
[NOD.]
[GENTLY TOUCH THE
AMERICAN FLAG,
STANDING ON THE
SURFACE OF THE MOON.]
"But....."
(Shrug.)
"It was a little DEPRESSING.
It sort'a reminded me,
of 'The Summer of 42';
only 'The Summer a' 42'
was a better movie."
[NOD.]
[MOVE SOME
ROCK PARTICLES ON
PLANET VEGA.]
"What with all those
CEMETARY scenes,
and all......"
[CALM NOD.]
[PUT A HAND UNDER
THE SOUTHERN AXIS
OF THE EARTH.]
"Too much talk 'a DEATH,
and HELL,
in it."
[NOD.]
"I guess,
that's why people don't
like to TALK.. about You,
Lord."
"Why,
child."
"Cuz."
(Yawn.)
"You're,
Ya know....."
[SMILE!]
"What,
little one?"
"Well....I don't want to
say anything politically
INCORRECT,
but...."
[LAUGH!]
"What,
My beloved?"
"Well......I
think that most
people just associate
You,
with DEATH."
[QUIET GAZE.]
"Yes.
I know,
child."
(Yawn!)
(Untie a sneaker.)
"Plus,
in the movie....
they talked about
Jesus Christ,
a lot:
it was a little SHOCKING."
[SMILE!]
"It was WEIRD."
[SMILE!]
"Yeah;
it's a good thing,
I didn't go with my
SISTER. She would 'a
walked OUT."
[SILENCE.]
"She would 'a
said:
'Are you trying to
PROSELYTIZE ME,
AGAIN?',
and,
just left."
[SILENCE.]
"Yeah;
and, that would'a
been 5 bucks,
WASTED."
[SILENCE.]
"That's all the movie
was, Lord: 5 bucks.
But, it was really SHORT.
I think it was only an hour
and a half: somethin'
like that."
[PATIENT NOD.]
[TOUCH A STORM-SPOT,
ON THE SUN.]
"It was a little WEIRD."
(Sip lemon-twist-soda.)
"I'm surprised anybody
was THERE."
[RUN A HAND
THROUGH THE MILKY-WAY.]
"Where,
child?"
(Irritable shout.)
"At the THEATRE!
I'm SUPRISED,
ANYBODY WAS THERE!"
(Irritable, impatient
squint at the ceiling.)
ARE YOU,
LISTENING
TO ME?"
[CALM NOD.]
(Yell up at the ceiling spots.)
"I BET YOU
HAVEN'T HEARD
A WORD, I SAID!"
"Yes,
I have,
child."
"YEAH?
So...
WHAT I' BEEN
TALKIN'
ABOUT?"
"Life,
child.
Life."
********************
I am
the Light
of the
world.
[John 8:12]
