I’m Chevy Chase. And You’re Not.

My poetry’s good and yours isn’t,
said Chevy Chase.
The Morning Star is risen.
Lucifer wasn’t
kidding when they turned their face
against the God who isn’t
on board with hip-hop.
God can argue a case
against the heart, but the Morning Star’s opinion
is, it’s not the reason
that makes us happy or unhappy.
Whether our poetry is or isn’t
as good as Chevy Chase’s,
we’ve already won all the poet races,
because the Morning Star is risen
and everybody’s talking about Jesus
and praying. Chevy Chase has to buy each one of us
a Chevrolet because our poetry is kind and his isn’t.
The Morning Star is risen.
