Strange

OK, so does the Trinity have to change?
What’s the idea of this Spirit stuff?
It’s a strange
unity—the Babe in the man-
ger makes three, enough
to stand apart and never change.
The Babe became the Son, sort of a Stooge
of God the Father (Who’s deaf);
but Jesus performed strange
miracles, even arranged
for the dead to come back in the buff—
in their bodies, that is—exchanged
for eternal souls?—no way! When we plunge
into the river of life-in-death,
strange
vibrations seize our limbs, God rearrang-
ing our molecules until we’re fully stuffed
with love that, like the Trinity, can’t change.
Strange!
